Benedetto Gennari Elizabeth Panton painting At Tate Britain art museum, Westminster , London #256073306
Description
Elizabeth Panton is portrayed, in a statement of her Catholicism, as St Catherine of Alexandria, holding a martyr`s palm and the spiked wheel on which, according to legend, St Catherine`s body was broken. This theme is seen in portraits of Charles II`s queen, Catherine of Braganza, some twenty-five years earlier. It was a popular subject with English court sitters.
