About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in bright, flat colors sitting on a throne. He wears a crown, green and orange robes with white crosses, and holds a long book. The background is gold with scattered flowers and stars, and his feet rest on a blue base with clouds and small animals. The man’s face glows with a golden halo, and his hands are raised as if blessing. The painting feels stiff and symbolic, not realistic. Next, look up composition to see how artists arrange figures and symbols.
