About this work
A young woman in a deep red hooded mantle, crowned with a golden halo, cradles a white dove that carries its own smaller halo against her chest. Behind her, several more haloed heads emerge from the shadows, and to the right tongues of flame and glowing rooftops rise into the darkness.
Saturated reds, oranges and yellows dominate the canvas, applied in thick, worked passages that leave the paint's texture visible, especially in the fiery background. The dove and halos are picked out in luminous white and gold against the warm ground, creating an intense, devotional mood centered on the woman's steady gaze.
