| Description |  |
Rubens painted this highly finished oil sketch as the model for an altarpiece that was never executed. In a dynamic stream of motion flowing from the foreground up the right side, he delineated many of the miraculous cures performed by the famed healer Saint Francis of Paola (1416-1507). At left, Louis XI of France and his court witness the Saint's ecstatic levitation.
