About Artwork: (About 1524) "This painting is part of Romanino’s high altarpiece for S. Alessandro in Brescia. It is situated beside the main panel of the Nativity. Saint Alexander was patron saint of Brescia and the church was dedicated to him. His position on the holy family’s right-hand side puts him in the place of honour, and he has a double halo. He was a local martyr, beheaded in Bergamo in about 303. He was said to have been a Roman soldier who was killed for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. He is often depicted as a youthful knight holding a banner marked with a fleur-de-lis in reference to the lilies that sprang up where his blood was spilled. The heroic and richly coloured figure of Saint Alexander expresses the strongly Venetian character of Romanino’s work. The jacket Alexander wears over his armour would originally have been half yellow and half blue but the blue pigment smalt has faded to grey." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
