Saint Rosalie Interceding for the Plague-stricken of Palermo

Item # 2476010

Anthony van Dyck

<p>Anthony van Dyck (1599 – 1641), in full Sir Anthony van Dyck, was one of the most prominent Flemish Baroque painters of the 17th century. A prolific painter of portraits of European aristocracy, he also executed many works on religious and mythological subjects and was a fine draftsman and etcher.</p>

<p>Van Dyck was in Palermo, Sicily, when a plague broke out and the city was quarantined. On July 15, 1624, the remains of Saint Rosalie-the city patroness, who died about 1160-were opportunely discovered on Mount Pellegrino, which is visible here above the harbor of Palermo. Images of Saint Rosalie were in great demand; this one was painted by Van Dyck on top of a striking self-portrait that he had sketched on the canvas. The artist employed a design he had used earlier for paintings of the Assumption of the Virgin.</p>
