Griffoni Polyptych: St Lucy
by COSSA, Francesco del, Oil on panel, 79 x 56 cm
This painting together with its counterpart representing St Florian belonged to the Griffoni Polyptych and were probably located on the upper part of the side panels.
A plant form with eyes held by the saint refers to the medieval legend that Saint Lucy, patron saint of eyesight, sacrificed her eyes for her Christian faith.
