    One leaf: Lilian Armstrong writes of the artist’s style: “Most typical are the saint’s eyes, with their curiously puffy eyelids, and his hair and beard a distinctive mix of pale grey and yellow. Also reminiscent of Antonio Maria’s figures are the saint’s long fingers and the intensity of his gaze”.
