About this work

This painting shows a group of 12 figures standing in two rows. The person in the center wears a bright blue robe with a red sash and gold halo, holding something in their hands. The others also have halos and are dressed in simple robes—some red, some blue. Above them, golden rays shine down from a bright light, and the background looks like a dark, arched space. Notice how the figures are all lined up neatly, with their hands in similar poses. The colors are bold but faded, and the painting looks old and worn. If you like this style, look up composition to see how artists arrange figures in religious art.
