Description:
This panel, with the one of Saint Candidus, a warrior in the Theban legion who was martyred along with Saint Maurice, was part of the old high altarpiece in the monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallès. Aine Bru, one of the most important names from the Catalan Cinquecento, was a painter of Central-European origin and training whose work speaks for the influence of Flemish culture and of the art produced in Venice in the period straddling the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
