Description |
The Vision of Saint Helena. National Gallery, London Saint Helena's vision of the True Cross is represented by two angels with the cross appearing to her as she sleeps. Saint Helena, mother of the Emperor Constantine, is said to have received divine guidance in her quest to discover the place where the True Cross, on which Christ had been crucified, was buried. The attribution to Veronese has occasionally been doubted but it is generally accepted to be a relatively early work by this artist. |

JPEG file comment | VERONESE, Paolo
(b. 1528, Verona, d. 1588, Venezia) The Vision of St Helena 1575-78 Oil on canvas, 198 x 116 cm National Gallery, London Flavia Julia Helena (d. c. 329), the mother of Constantine the Great, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, so legend tells us, to find the Cross of Christ, which had appeared to her in a dream. Veronese did very few single-figure pictures, <a onclick="return OpenOther('/html/r/raimondi/dream_he.html')" href="/html/r/raimondi/dream_he.html">Raimondi's engraving</A> forms the starting point for the impressive, simply structured composition, which is wholly imbued with the humanized view of the saint.
