Painting Saint Veronica and the Holy Veil 1600

1600s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Tuscan school of the seventeenth century. According to Christian tradition, St. Veronica was, the "pious woman" who, seeing the passion of Jesus carrying the cross and his face smeared with sweat and blood, cleansed it with a linen cloth, on which the imprint of Jesus' face would remain. Such a veil, also called the Holy Shroud, has therefore become the iconographic sign of the saint: in that painting, too, Veronica appears centrally, while two angels on either side hold the linen on which Christ's face crowned with thorns is imprinted; below it, a chalice symbolically collects divine blood, while above the saint's theta hovers the Holy Spirit. Restored and re-tinted, the painting is presented in a styled frame.

Painted in Historical Subject, XVIIth century
Located in Milan, IT
Oil painting on canvas. French school of the seventeenth century. The scene, set at night in the garden of a villa, of which you can glimpse the ornate facade on the right and in which the fountain gushing with cherubs stands out, under a dark sky and further obscured by heavy clouds, proposes two figures who entertain each other in conversation : an elderly modestly dressed is sternly admonishing a seated young man, richly dressed, who seems instead to make the gesture of mea culpa with his hand. The physiognomy and the gestures of the two characters, together with the style of the clothes, would refer to the philosopher Aristotle who was called to the court of Macedon to be the tutor...
