Caption: Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, d'après Bronzino. Edition Attié. (Saint-Julien-the-Poor, after Bronzino). Note: This card shows a copy of Bronzino's painting. It once hung above the altar of the northern chapel, but is now located on the west wall above the door to the sacristy. It depicts St. Julien helping a sick traveler step from a boat onto the riverbank. In the background the saint's wife welcomes another traveler at the door of the hostel. The legend of St. Julien the Hospitaller was popular all over Europe, especially in Italy, where there are many frescoes and paintings of him. |
