Description: | Signed: yes Description: In 1600, Francisco Pacheco and Alonso Vázquez were commissioned to decorate the large cloister of the Mercedarian convent of Seville with a series of pictures representing the lives of the founders of the order, Saint Peter Nolasco and Saint Raymond Nonnatus. This painting was probably part of Pacheco's contribution to the series. Saint Peter, supported by angels, kneels by his bed to receive his last communion from Christ. The scene is illuminated by the candles held by a group of Mercedarian monks. | Subjects: | angel Christ religion (St Peter Nolasco St Raymond Nonnatus Eucharist) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pacheco, Francisco (Spanish painter and author, 1564-1644) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9049... | Go to resource |
