Description

18th Spanish Embroidered & Painted Silk Panel Depicting The Saint Francis Paola.

Mystic and founder of the Order of Minims, he was called “the other Francis” for his charity

An 18th-century Spanish-painted silk embroidery of St. Francis of Paola exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and religious devotion of the period. This delicate artwork typically features the saint, known for his piety and miracles, depicted in serene reverence. The embroidery would be executed on fine silk fabric, chosen for its luxurious texture and ability to hold vibrant colours.

The central figure of St. Francis of Paola is often portrayed in a humble monk's habit, characterized by its simple, flowing lines and muted tones. His countenance is rendered with gentle, compassionate features, and his eyes might be uplifted in spiritual contemplation. Surrounding the saint, intricate motifs of flora and fauna, often symbolic of purity and divine connection, embellish the scene, their colours vivid yet harmonious.
