Description: | Signed: yes Description: The vision represented in this painting was experienced by Saint Juan de Dios while he was praying in Granada. The founder of an order devoted to the care of the sick and poor, this Portuguese friar was said to have received a crown of thorns from the Virgin Mary and Christ, whose suffering he shared. Francisco Camilo's elongated figures and his harmonious palette exemplify the influence of Anthony Van Dyck on the Madrid school. Camilo specialised in religious subjects, for which his gentle, sentimental style was particularly suited. | Subjects: | religion (St Juan de Dios Christ Virgin) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Camilo, Francisco (Spanish painter, ca. 1615-1671) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8968... | Go to resource |
