About the Item

Spain, Circa 1750 Hand-painted silk Giltwood frame Devotional artwork A rare and exquisitely detailed 18th-century Spanish devotional panel, finely executed on silk and depicting Saint Francis of Paola in a moment of divine revelation. The saint is shown kneeling in contemplative prayer, surrounded by three cherubs—one presenting a lion, another holding a celestial staff, while a winged putto hovers above with radiant beams, bearing a “Charitas” medallion, symbolizing the saint's order and selfless devotion. The scene is delicately hand-painted on woven silk, a luxurious and uncommon medium typically reserved for private worship or ecclesiastical commissions. The expressive folds of the saint’s robe, the soft rendering of the cherubic figures, and the glowing divine light highlight the spiritual intensity of the composition. Presented in its original 18th-century Spanish giltwood frame, which shows beautiful wear and patina consistent with age, this piece is both a devotional treasure and a decorative collector’s item. Its intimate scale and exceptional craftsmanship make it ideal for collectors of religious art, textile art, or Baroque Spanish ecclesiastical works.
