Description: | This work shows a miracle that Christ performed after his sermon on the mount. A sick woman convinced herself that she would be made well if she touched the hem of Christ's clothes, which came to pass. Jesus realised what had happened and told her it was her faith that had cured her. As with its pendant, another scene of Christ's miracles, it is difficult to be certain who the artist is. Its size suggests it was made for the collection of a gentleman to display in his cabinet, an arrangement that became popular in the early seventeenth century. | Subjects: | religion (Christ Heals the Issue of Blood); buildings and gardens; figure; literature (Bible Luke 8.43-48) Mark 5.25-34 Matthew 9.20-22 | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Northern Italian) School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to manner of Panini, Giovanni Paolo (Italian painter, ca. 1692-1765) Previously attributed to Flemish School Previously attributed to Reni, Guido (Italian painter and draftsman, 1575-1642) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8357... | Go to resource |
