About this work

This painting shows a robed figure holding a cross, standing front-facing with a calm expression. Behind him, two winged angels stand on either side, their wings spread wide. The figure wears a blue tunic with gold trim and a brown cloak, while the angels have green and gold robes. The cross the figure holds is a simple wooden shape, painted gold. The angels’ wings are detailed with feathers, and the whole scene has a flat, slightly faded look. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style uses drama and detail.
