"Vision of St. Helena" by David Aldus U.A
Pictured is St.Helena of Constantinople who is believed to have had a vision of the cross on which Christ was crucified while she was sleeping. As the mother of the Christian convert Emperor Constantine I, Helena is said to have received divine powers to assist her search for the burial location of the true cross.
The "Vision of St.Helena" adds an element of humanity to the saintly reverie by painting her in a relaxed pose within a domestic space. Yet the lush colours, sumptuous folds of clothing and marbled interior are typical of the richly decorative nature of Veronese's original work.
This feeling of decorativeness is enhanced by the playful presence of 2 winged putti seen through a wide window floating in a delicately coloured sky while carrying a heavy wooden cross!!!
