About Artwork: (1611-12) "This scene makes up the central panel of an altarpiece Rubens made for St Bavo’s Cathedral, Ghent; this painting is a preliminary sketch for the work. Saints Amand and Floribert receive Saint Bavo, a former Roman soldier, on the steps of St Peter’s Church, also in Ghent. A cleric holds the black habit of the Benedictine Order for Saint Bavo, a replacement for his armour. He has relinquished his sword to the man behind him, while another hands out his riches to a group of beggars. Two courtiers stand at the bottom of the steps, a dog at their feet, while more people crowd the staircase and the foreground, creating a feeling of frenzy." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
