About this work

This painting is divided into three panels, each featuring a religious figure. The left panel depicts a man with long hair and a beard, wearing a green robe and holding a white banner with illegible text. The central panel shows a man in an orange robe, holding a green book and a staff, with a shell around his neck. The right panel features a man in black armor, holding a red flag and a sword. The background of each panel appears to be a landscape with mountains and buildings, although the details are not clear. The overall style of the painting suggests a religious theme, with the figures depicted in a formal and dignified manner. The use of tempera as the medium adds a sense of depth and richness to the painting. To learn more about this style, explore the technique of tempera.
