Description: | This dynamic Baroque composition with gesticulating repoussoir figures, The Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, portrays an astonishing miracle. The monstrance is borne aloft by child angels. Beams of light radiate out from the Blessed Sacrament, illuminating the principal figures of the Virgin and the Four Doctors of the Church. The Virgin gazes in adoration, while the Doctors dispute the significance of the Sacrament. The painting is a lively sketch of a large picture painted by Herrera in 1656 for the Hall of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, attached to Seville Cathedral. | Subjects: | religion (Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament; Four Doctors of the Church) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Herrera, Francisco de (Spanish painter and architect, 1627-1685) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8761... | Go to resource |
