Saint Onuphrius 1440 - 1490

This anonymous painting from the late 15th century, "Saint Onuphrius," depicts the saint kneeling in prayer, clothed in a garment of animal skin. He holds a cross, and an angel appears in the clouds above him, offering him a loaf of bread. The painting is a small, intricate piece, and the vibrant colors and detailed landscape create a sense of realism and piety, reflecting the aesthetic conventions of the period. The work is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
