About the piece
Created in 1652 by Juan de Valdés Leal, this masterful oil painting captures the solemnity of the Poor Clares in procession. Saint Clare is depicted centrally, her face illuminated as she holds an ornate golden monstrance, while celestial putti watch from the shadows above. The work exemplifies the dramatic chiaroscuro and intense devotional spirit of the Seville school of painting.
