Behold the latest discovery from James C. Christensen’s
Saints and Angels collection, a series he attributes to his alter-ego,
an obscure Flemish painter known as The Master of the Enoch Altarpiece.
Previous Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Limited Editions from the
Saints and Angels collection include Isabella and The Enoch Altarpiece.
The subject of Saint with White Sleeves does not appear to
be a specific saint, and the model for this striking portrait
was likely one of the Master’s patrons. It was customary
at the time for the wealthy to request that their portraits incorporate
characteristics of saints or angels. In this piece, the halo
suggests a saint, yet the white sleeves hint at angel’s
wings. |
