About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in bright, flat colors wearing a robe covered in gold crosses. His face is serious, with a white halo behind his head. He holds an open book with writing in one hand and points with the other. Smaller figures in red and blue robes appear in the background, also with halos. The gold background and bold outlines are typical of religious art meant to feel sacred. The crosses on his robe are a common symbol in these kinds of paintings. Look up *cross* to see how this symbol was used in other religious art.
