Dear listmembers,
I come late to this discuss wondering whether any of you have any
suggestions about a representation of St Agnes receiving a
wedding/engagement ring from a Christ through the agency of a dove.
My painting is c.1390 in a church at Cawston in Norfolk and is
labelled as St Agnes. I have found fifteenth-century paintings of
the mystic marriage of the saint to Christ (often shown as the Christ
child), which resemble the more famous incident with St Catherine. I
would be very interested to hear about earlier images including the
dove.
With thanks and wishes for a peaceful and joyous Easter
