Description: | A saint is shown sitting in the foreground, holding a sword in his right hand while with his left hand he points to his breast. He looks up at a vision of two angels holding a book. The identity of the saint is uncertain, although the sword he holds suggests that he could be Saint Paul. The heightened emotion expressed in this painting is consonant with Catholic imagery at the end of the Baroque period. Originally attributed to the Roman School, this painting is now thought to be French. | Subjects: | angel St Paul?); landscape figure (saint | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Italian (Roman) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8849... | Go to resource |
