“St. Margaret of Antioch” by Zurburan, Home Live Art, 2005.

← Back to the Portfolio

48” x 32”, oil on canvas , 64 squares over 3 days.

Recreated at the St Margarets Church Ale Performance Festival, Suffolk, organised by Home Live Art, July 2005.

 This is one of the few oil paintings of St Margaret of Antioch, the patron saint of Rishangles church where the performance festival was held. She was thrown out of her father’s house when she became a Christian against his wishes and is often depicted in the guise of a sheperdess. She was tortured for her faith and was even eaten by a dragon which disgorged her because of her crucifix. She became the Patron Saint of childbirth.

Zurburan painted it between 1630 and 1634, largely with the help of assistants.

Thanks to Adonis Christodolu, Zoniel Burton, Juan Gomez and Home Live Art.
