Description: | 'This painting is a good example of Vignon's eccentricity and at the same time is the probable reason that it has resisted identification in the Ferens for more than fifty years. The painting has all Vignon's curious mixture of Caravaggism and Mannerism, which was particularly prominent in his years at Rome. As soon as he returned to Paris, most of the Caravaggistic influence disappeared. The treatment of St James' staff with its little bell is also unusual.'
