Wall Frame - St. Clare of Assisi Driving Away Infidels with Eucharist by Museum Art

Artist: Isidoro Arredondo – c. 1693

This painting is of considerable interest as there are very few surviving works by this artist, who was a fine example of the last generation of great decorators from Madrid. The architectural setting is notable in its resemblance to Claudio Coello´s manner, as are the figures of the angels. The color scheme is warm but rather muted, with handsome yellows, ochers and grayish greens that are not, however, shiny, as the dominant color is the saint´s dark brown habit.
