Saint Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order, is identified by the lily and the miraculous star on his chest. Saint Catherine of Siena is also a Dominican saint; her hands, feet and side are marked with Christ’s wounds, known as the stigmata.\n\nThe tethered monkey is an unusual feature and may represent man’s base nature disciplined by the Christian faith. It could have been copied from a monkey in an engraving by the German artist Dürer or from a real monkey in the Duke of Ferrara’s menagerie.\n\nChrist’s sacrifice is symbolised by the goldfinch he holds on a string. The bird is traditionally associated with Christ’s Passion because of the legend that one flew down and took a thorn from Christ’s crown of thorns while he was on his way to the Crucifixion, and its head was marked red with Christ’s blood.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/garofalo-the-virgin-and-child-enthroned-with-saints-1\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Virgin and Child enthroned with Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena ('Madonna della Scimmia')\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garofalo","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509572276467,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (18 1\/4\" x 13 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509572309235,"sku":null,"price":552.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 5\/8\" x 15 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509572342003,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (25 1\/4\" x 19\")","offer_id":50509572374771,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 7\/8\" x 23 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509572407539,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 7\/8\" x 30\")","offer_id":50509572440307,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 7\/8\" x 36\")","offer_id":50509572473075,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (56 1\/2\" x 42 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509572505843,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (67 3\/4\" x 51\")","offer_id":50509572538611,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheVirginandChildenthronedwithSaintDominic.jpg?v=1789252176","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-virgin-and-child-enthroned-with-saint-dominic-and-saint-catherine-of-siena-madonna-della-scimmia-ngal572","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
