Holy Face. Oil on canvas. Spanish school, 16th century.
A canvas depicting a face on a light background, without any other elements. From an iconographic point of view, this is what is commonly called the Holy Face or the Face of Christ or the Holy Face, linked to both the Passion and Veronica, or the Mandylion of Edessa. Compare this example with the Holy Face of the Monastery of the Holy Face in Alicante or, much more similar, with the Holy Face of the Cathedral of Jaén, both in Spain. -
