The Virgin Adored by Saints
Scarsellino (Ippolito Scarsella)
ca. 1609 · Oil on copper · European Paintings
This early Italian example of an oil on copper shows the Virgin bestowing the scapular—a small piece of cloth symbolic of the yoke of Christ—on Saint Simon Stock, an English Carmelite monk who allegedly had a vision of this occurrence. Two donors kneel in the left middle distance with Saint Anthony of Padua.
