"Large Portrait Of Saint Teresa Of Avila, Oil On Canvas 19th Century"
Large full-length portrait of St. Teresa of Avila holding a feather in her right hand and a book in her left, her head in the heavens, barefoot. Saint Teresa of Avila, beatified in 1614 and canonized in 1622, remains a prestigious figure of Christian holiness, both through her reforming work, sanctioned by the creation of numerous “discalced” convents, and through her mystical writings. In 1970, she became the first woman proclaimed Doctor of the Church. Dimensions 160 x 100 cm Good condition
