Description: | Justina kneels before a Moorish executioner, who stabs her. Two senators in long robes are standing on the right, watching her execution, while two oriental figures wearing turbans and holding staffs are shown on the left. The famous Venetian painter Paolo Caliari, called Veronese, painted the scene with life-size figures for the church of Santa Giustina at Padua, to stand above the high altar, but this painting was probably copied by the Glasgow-born painter John Graham-Gilbert from a painting of the same subject in the Uffizi, Florence (inv. no. 468). | Subjects: | figure; religion (St Justina) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Graham-Gilbert, John (British artist, 1794-1866) Æ After Veronese, Paolo (Italian painter and draftsman, 1528-1588) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8783... | Go to resource |
