Description: | This small painting represents the Virgin and Child in glory, appearing to several saints. Above, among heavenly clouds, Mary is shown holding the infant Christ who radiates a golden light, surrounded by angels, putti and cherubim. Mary gazes down upon several figures: the one in the middle can be identified as Saint Stephen thanks to the martyr's palm which he holds and the pile of stones beside his foot, whereas the other two have no specific attributes. In the background, the richly dressed female saint holding a martyr's palm could be Saint Catherine of Alexandria. | Subjects: | St Catherine? figure; religion (Virgin and Child St Stephen) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: González Velázquez, Antonio I (Spanish painter, 1723-1793) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Giaquinto, Corrado (Italian painter, 1703-1765) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8539... | Go to resource |
