Saint Francis, and his follower Saint Clare, are shown to the left with a group of Clare’s companions. The Holy Trinity of God the Father, Christ, and the Holy Spirit appear as a vision in the sky. The other saints include Saint Jerome who appears with his lion below the Virgin. This is a preliminary study for a large altarpiece, known as a modello. It was painted for a church of Franciscan nuns in Naples where Solimena worked throughout his life. Notes: Exhibited: 'Baroque sketches, drawings & sculptures', Heim Gallery, London, 1967, no. 15. |
