Description: | St Paul the Hermit is being fed by a raven. Having fled the persecution of Decius, St Paul lived in a cave in the desert and spent his time in prayer. He survived on fruit and water and was fed by a raven who brought him bread. The work is by an artist from late seventeenth-century Spain and could be one that was produced in large quantities. The inscription of the saint's name is on a stone parapet on which there are angels. | Subjects: | religion (S.
