About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in bright orange robes standing over a sick person lying on the ground. Behind him, a small town with white and blue buildings sits under a blue sky with yellow clouds. To the right, an angel in green and orange holds a golden trumpet, while a smaller figure floats above the town. The bright colors and simple shapes make the scene feel lively, even though the main person looks serious. The buildings in the background look like a mix of real places and stylized designs. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
