Description:

|
A late work with loose brushwork. Saint Nicholas, also called Nikolaos of Myra, was an historic 4th-century Christian saint and Greek Bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor (modern-day Demre, Turkey). Nicholas' tomb in Myra had become a popular place of pilgrimage. Because of the many wars and attacks in the region, some Christians were concerned that access to the tomb might become difficult. For both the religious and commercial advantages of a major pilgrimage site, the Italian cities of Venice and Bari vied to get the Nicholas relics, and they each got part of the remains in the 11th century. As a patron saint of sailors, Nicholas was popular in Venice. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
