About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in bright red robes holding a book and a globe. He wears a golden crown and stands on a patterned platform. Around him, two smaller figures float in the sky—one in blue, one in red—while tiny people below hold candles. The gold cross on his chest and the halo above his head mark him as holy. The border is packed with flowers and geometric shapes, making the scene feel both grand and decorative. Next, look up saint to see how holy figures like this one are usually shown.
