A Saint with a Fortress and a Banner
Artist: Girolamo da Santacroce (Italian, Active 1516, died 1556)
Original Dimensions: 46 3/8" x 18 3/4"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (Probably about 1512-25) "This young saint holding a banner and a model fortress was once thought to be Saint George, as a red cross on a white background is the flag associated with him. However it is more likely that he is Terentius, the patron saint of Pesaro. He stands high on a parapet, set against a great expanse of sky. Where the fabric of his cloak catches the light, the pattern of the gold damask weave is wonderfully revealed in tiny hatched brushtrokes. Originally this panel and A Youthful Saint reading, also in the National Gallery’s collection, would have flanked a central image, probably of the Virgin and Child, in a multi-panelled altarpiece known as a polyptych. The contemplative mood of the painting, the grassy landscape with its hilltop town beneath a large sky and the saint’s oval face are all reminiscent of late works by Giovanni Bellini." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
