Der heilige Ludwig von Toulouse

Italienische Malerei 1460–1475, um 1470/1480

The image shows a man standing upright, holding a staff in his left hand and making a gesture with his right hand. He has prominent facial features, including a large nose and brow, along with a somber expression. His head is covered with a tall pointed mitre, and he is dressed in ecclesiastical clothing—a red robe with gold and brown accents. He wears a golden medallion around his neck. The staff he holds has intricate detailing near the top, resembling a small animal figure. The background is textured with blue and earthy tones, suggesting a landscape with hints of clouds or fog, and a brown ground.
