Saint 1480

This painting, *Saint* by Carlo Crivelli, dates to 1480. Crivelli, an Italian Renaissance painter, is known for his meticulous detail and the use of bright, often unnatural, colors. The painting depicts a saint holding a staff, book, and scallop shell, all of which are symbolic attributes. The realism of the figure's face and the intricate detail of the clothing are characteristic of Crivelli's style. This small, intimate piece is a testament to the artist's mastery of oil painting and his ability to capture the essence of religious devotion.
