Saint Benedict And Saint Francis Flanking A Virgin And Child - 17th Century
A tender Flemish painting from the first third of the 17th century, this oil on a slightly convex oak panel bears a signature or annotation by Flo. Colli. On the left is Saint Francis of Assisi, recognizable by his brown habit, and to the right is Saint Benedict offering a platter with a cross and a small bouquet.
Benedict represents the regular monastic life, and Francis the evangelical life. This harmonious union is a beautiful spiritual balance. The painting is in good condition, with minor losses and wear, and restorations, particularly in the background.
There is a trace of a vertical crack near the center.
The painting measures 44.5 cm x 33.5 cm and is mounted on lightly tinted glass in an aluminum frame measuring 67 cm x 56 cm. Reference 434
