Description: | This painting probably shows the Apostle St Simon. He was one of Christ's followers and is believed to have preached in North Africa, the Middle East and Britain. He is identifiable by his attribute, the saw. It is believed that he was killed by being sawn to pieces by heathen priests. The iconography of the painting suggests a Catholic origin, and the style is reminiscent of the response to the Caravaggio's paintings in the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | religion (St Simon the Apostle) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian School Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8655... | Go to resource |
