Western European Framed Devotional St Luke Icon and Reliquary
Mid 19th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £468
Composed of a chalcographic print representing the Evangelist Luke who, depicted with a brush and easel, is painting a true image of the Virgin and Child, who appear to him in a cloud radiating Divine Light; a winged ox above; inscription 'S. Lucas Evang.' (St Luke the Evangelist) below; the central image enclosed within a lace frame, decorated with embroidery, containing relics of Saints Magnus, Diodorus and Prosperus; all enclosed in a gilded wooden frame. 1.06 kg, 35 x 28.5 cm
Acquired in Germany. Property of RWM Collection.
According to Christian tradition, St Luke made the first pictorial representations of the Mother of God, which were defined as acheiropitae, that is, not created by humans. The presence of the relics of Saint Magnus (saint patron of Anagni, Lazio), of the Roman martyr St Diodorus and of St Prosperus, (patron saint of Reggio Emilia), would suggest an Italic environment as the centre of production of the sacred image.
