September 4, Saint Rosalie of Palermo.

After this unusual summer period, the Instituto Moll returns with the desire to continue bringing you closer to the painting of the European Golden Age. Today, we are going to do it with one of the most popular and successful iconographies in seventeenth-century Europe: Saint Rosalie of Palermo.

Anton van Dyck (Antwerp, 1599-London, 1641) was the promoter of several iconographic proposals that were very successful. Here you are the one belonging to the Wellington collection in London which, coming from the old Habsburg collections in the old Alcázar of Madrid, places the saint in front of the cave where her remains were found near Palermo; and another one from the Epiarte collection, in which she is raised to heaven by a group of angels.

Some studies focused on the last one will be published soon, pay attention!
