Description : Santa con Angelo
Oil painting on canvas. Central European school. The central female figure, haloed, holds a book in her hand that points to the other character, whose wings are visible and who is offering her a palm branch, which indicates the martyrdom or the trials to which the saint was subjected. The clothing of the woman and her accompaniment with the angel would refer to Santa Francesca Romana, a woman who lived in the fourteenth century who, after having lived marriage and having generated children, chose consecration to God and a mystical life, and founded the Order of the Oblates of Tor de 'Specchi; tradition has it that she was able to see her Guardian Angel. The work, with signs of restoration and relining, has color degradation and a marked crack.
