About Artwork: (Late 1470s to early 1480s) "This is one of two fragments in the National Gallery’s collection of a larger work which showed the Virgin and Christ Child seated in a garden. It depicts Saint Dorothy, who lived in Caesarea (Kayseri in modern-day Turkey) in the fourth century. Saint Dorothy is usually shown, as here, carrying a basket of roses. According to her legend she was killed for her faith on the orders of the Roman Emperor Diocletian. She was sure that she would enter paradise after her death, which she proclaimed was full of roses. As she was about to be decapitated she was mocked by a Roman scribe, Theophilus, who asked her to bring him some of these roses. Miraculously, Christ appeared as a young boy with a basket of the flowers. On the ground behind Saint Dorothy are the attributes of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, who is also included in the painting: a broken wheel (the instrument of her torture) and a sword, with which she was eventually killed." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
