Very beautiful small oil on copper representing Saint Dominic in front of a holy book, holding a rosary in one hand and a branch of lily in the other, following the iconographic tradition very popular in the 17th century, known as "St Dominic in Soriano"Indeed, a legend born in the 16th century reports that a painting representing St Dominic holding white lilies would have been brought by Virgin Mary to the monastery of Soriano.
17th century work

Reflections on the photos due to the copper support.
This painting is the perfect counterpart to the one representing St Francis of Assisi that we also present on Proantic
