Description: | This is one of two small panel paintings attributed to Bonifacio Bembo in the New Walk Museum. This panel features an unidentified saint who wears spurs and a fur-trimmed tunic of a kind that was fashionable in the fifteenth century. In his right hand he holds a flowering palm which alludes to his martyr status; the sword in his left hand indicates that the figure may represent Saint Sebastian. This panel, like its companion, has an arched top; it is unclear if the panels were painted as a pair or as part of a larger work. | Subjects: | figure; landscape; religion ( a martyr) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bembo, Bonifacio (Italian painter, active 1447-1478, died before 1482) Æ Previously attributed to Francesco di Gentile da Fabriano (Italian painter, 15th c.)
