About the piece

Created around 1606 by the Italian master Guido Reni, this Baroque masterpiece depicts Saint Margaret of Antioch in a state of religious ecstasy. She is rendered with luminous skin and flowing drapery in rich primary tones, while the dragon she famously subdued emerges from the shadows at her side, symbolizing her spiritual triumph.
