File:Niccolò di Segna - Saint Lucy - Walters 37756.jpg
Summary
Following her conversion to Christianity, Lucy (d. 304) was subjected to a series of tortures, all of which she miraculously survived. Here, the saint holds the dagger with which she was ultimately executed and the lamp, her attribute. This painting originally was on the left side of an altarpiece that consisted of a central image of the Virgin and Child flanked by saints.
The ornate details and delicate gold surfaces enlivened by punch-marks are characteristic of the refined style of mid 14th-century Sienese painting.
For more information on this piece, please see Zeri catalogue number 22, pp. 37-39.
