Description: | This rhomboid-shaped painting was possibly produced for the mural decoration of a church, maybe for a spandrel under a dome. The Evangelist Saint Mark is accompanied by his symbol of the winged lion, while two angels carry a wreath and a palm that refers to his martyrdom. This painting was previously thought to be an eighteenth-century work, but it is now firmly attributed to Francisco de Solís, who used similar models in his Saint Mark Altarpiece which he made for the cathedral of Vitoria. | Subjects: | angel); animal (winged lion) religion (St Mark | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Solís, Francisco de (Spanish painter and printmaker; 1620-1684) Æ Previously attributed to Spanish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9048... | Go to resource |
