Frescoes in the Oratory Suardi in Trescore, scene of the blessing of St. Brigid of Kildare 1524

This fresco by the renowned Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto, created in 1524, depicts St. Brigid of Kildare blessing a flock of sheep. The scene takes place in a lush landscape, with a prominent cliff and a distant village visible on the horizon. The saint is portrayed in a contemplative mood, holding a book and gazing towards the sheep, highlighting her devotion and spiritual power. This work is a prime example of Lotto's characteristic blend of religious themes and realistic details, showcasing his mastery of both figure painting and landscape composition.
