Description: | The twin brothers St Cosmas and St Damian were both physicians. They were Christians and never took money for their services. By order of Lysias, governor of Cilicia, they underwent various torments yet suffered no injury. They are patron saints of physicians. Both saints are holding crucifixes and objects that indicate their links to medicine. The oil paintings are set into a fictive frame of masonry. The works are copies of a late fifteenth- or early sixteenth-century Spanish painting. | Subjects: | figure; religion (St Cosmas St Damian); still life; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spanish School Æ After Previously attributed to Spanish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8331... | Go to resource |
