Description: | A modest, late copy after Murillo's Saint Rose of Lima, of about 1670, in the Museo Lázaro Galdiano, Madrid. The painting depicts the saint's vision of the Christ Child, which occurred while she was praying in the convent garden and sewing to provide for her parents. The saint, attired in the Dominican habit and wearing a rosary, kneels on a step, whilst the infant Christ, sitting on the sewing basket, passes her a rose. The convent garden and the saint are alluded to in the rose bushes in the background right, although the garden is abbreviated by comparison with the original painting, which includes the convent buildings. | Subjects: | Christ Child) religion (St Rose of Lima | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Murillo, Bartolomé Estebán (Spanish painter and draftsman, 1618-1682) Æ After Previously attributed to school of Murillo, Bartolomé Estebán (Spanish painter and draftsman, 1618-1682) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8378... | Go to resource |
