About Artwork: (About 1520) "A man sits in a luxuriously furnished room, painting a picture. This is Saint Luke, patron saint of painters and physicians. Many of the objects around him refer to these professions, and his symbol, the ox, lies at his side. The picture is full of information on how Renaissance painters worked. Saint Luke is seated at an easel; his painting, already in its frame, rests on an adjustable ledge. He is working on the Virgin’s head and his wooded palette is set out with an array of pigments. The saint supports his hand with a mahlstick with a padded grey knob on the end, which rests on the frame, and has a selection of brushes with wooden handles. Books and containers for medicines sit on shelves at the back. Below hang two basketwork canisters, containers for urine flasks – the physician’s characteristic tool." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
