Saint Barbara
2020
Monotype, mixed media and text
24 x 22 inches

Images of Saint Barbara, a virgin martyr born in the 3rd Century, appear everywhere in southern Puglia; she must have made many successful intercessions! People prayed to her because they believed she protected them against noxious animals, thunder and lightning, jaundice, and sudden death. 


Her elaborate earrings and jewelry indicate she came from a rich family.
