Description:
This panel painting by a Tuscan master of the third quarter of the 13th century shows the 6th century Bishop surrounded by six episodes from his life in a style still strongly marked by Byzantine tradition. The scenes to the left and the right of the saint represent his life, a subsequent miracle and the appearance of angels at the front of his body. Saint Veranus of Cavaillon (died ca. 590) was a French saint, with a cultus in Italy. (Source: Brera Pinacoteca [website]; http://pinacotecabre ra.org/en/)
