Alessandro in Brescia. It is situated beside the main panel of the Nativity.\n\nSaint Alexander was patron saint of Brescia and the church was dedicated to him. His position on the holy family’s right-hand side puts him in the place of honour, and he has a double halo. He was a local martyr, beheaded in Bergamo in about 303. He was said to have been a Roman soldier who was killed for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. He is often depicted as a youthful knight holding a banner marked with a fleur-de-lis in reference to the lilies that sprang up where his blood was spilled.\n\nThe heroic and richly coloured figure of Saint Alexander expresses the strongly Venetian character of Romanino’s work. The jacket Alexander wears over his armour would originally have been half yellow and half blue but the blue pigment smalt has faded to grey.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/girolamo-romanino-saint-alexander\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Saint Alexander\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Girolamo Romanino","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509624213747,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (62 3\/4\" x 25 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509624246515,"sku":null,"price":2535.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (28 1\/4\" x 11 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509624279283,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (34 1\/2\" x 13 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509624312051,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (42 1\/4\" x 17\")","offer_id":50509624344819,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (54 5\/8\" x 22\")","offer_id":50509624377587,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (65 1\/2\" x 26 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509624410355,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (77 1\/4\" x 31 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509624443123,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (92 5\/8\" x 37 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509624475891,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/SaintAlexander.jpg?v=1789253003","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/saint-alexander-ngal705","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
