About this work

This painting shows a saint on a wooden panel. It's made with tempera, a type of paint. The saint is dressed in simple clothes and has a kind face. The artist used a traditional technique to create this image, similar to those used by artists who work with tempera and wood, like the technique: tempera on wood is similar to technique: sfumato, but for now, let's look into technique: sfumato.
