About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in bright red robes holding a golden book and a long staff. Behind him, a city with red-roofed buildings and domed churches floats in the sky. An angel and a small figure in the clouds watch as two people kneel near a sick person on a bed. The gold halo and the title at the top mean this is a holy figure. The stiff, flat colors and bold outlines make it look like a mix of old and new styles. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
