“St. Wolfgang” of Regensburg. Oil on Canvas. German school. 19th Century
-
Description
A 19th Century oil painting on canvas depicting a saint. Saint Wolfgang wears robes and has a halo. He is holding a model of a church in one hand and an axe in the other. There is a church in the distant mountainous background. The halo on this figure’s head indicates he was canonized, symbolizes saintly status. The figure’s hat is that of a Bishop or Cardinal. The axe refers to an incident in the life of the saint. After having selected a solitary spot in the wilderness, he prayed and then threw the axe into the ticket; the spot on which the axe fell he regarded as the place where GOD intended he should build his church. The axe is still shown in the little market town of St. Wolfgang which sprang up on the spot of the old church.
Very good condition.
