Original Dimensions: 21" x 27 1/4"

Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (About 1505-6) "An unidentified Franciscan friar kneels in veneration before the Virgin and Child. The Virgin looks down at him and touches the top of his head. Christ, sitting on her knee, holds a flower and raises his right hand in blessing. Saint Catherine, holding the wheel on which she was tortured and the palm that shows she is a martyr, stands watching in the middle distance near a huge ruined classical building, which symbolises the triumph of Christianity over the paganism of the classical world. Christ’s flower seems to have been picked from the plant growing over the ruins. On the left, the stumps of felled trees send up new shoots, referring to the life-giving force of Christ and his triumph over death. This painting is similar to another by Previtali now in Wadsworth Atheneum (Hartford, Connecticut). The Hartford painting is probably the earlier of the two versions." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
