Head of an Angel or Saint

Unknownabout 1410

The J. Paul Getty Museum

The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States

The elegantly painted face, much of the wavy golden hair, and a large part of the red halo of this angel or saint were originally part of a larger panel. These elements were later composed into the current setting with sections of both new glass, painted to look old, and palimpsests (replacements painted on old glass).
