FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

The blue-robed figure on the left is St. Martin, a Roman knight who became the Bishop of Tours. While studying a holy text, he received a heavenly vision of five saints: Peter, Paul, the Virgin Mary, John the Evangelist, and Catherine of Alexandria. This panel was originally part of the predella, or lowest stage, of the high altarpiece of the Church of Saint Martin, Riglos, Spain.
