The Charity of St Nicholas of Bari
Artist: Girolamo Macchietti (Italian, 1535 - 1592)
Original Dimensions: 29 1/2" x 44 1/8"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (About 1555-60) "Under cover of darkness, Saint Nicholas throws three golden balls through the window of the house of an impoverished nobleman. The saint’s act of charity, providing dowries for the daughters so they could marry, saved them from being sold into prostitution. Saint Nicholas’s feast day is celebrated on 5 December and the story gradually evolved into the Christmas tradition of Santa Claus. The shape and sturdy structure of the panel suggest that the picture may have been set into a piece of furniture or incorporated into the panelled walls of a bedchamber. Such decorative schemes were often commissioned at the time of a marriage. As well as the scene of sleeping, the moral of this tale was also appropriate to a bedchamber – by the saint’s charity, the noble lineage of the family was protected." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
