About the piece
Dating from approximately 1787, this oil painting captures Saint Barbara in a moment of divine triumph. She is centrally positioned in a cloud-filled sky, holding her traditional attributes of the palm of martyrdom and the Eucharistic chalice. Below her celestial presence, detailed narrative panels illustrate the dramatic story of her imprisonment and sacrifice, all rendered with the rich detail characteristic of the period.
