Princess Eudoxia before the Tomb of St Stephen

Princess Eudoxia before the Tomb of St Stephen, 1495-1500, tempera, stucco relief and gold leaf on wood, by Vergos Group, in Gothic style, in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. This panel depicts the Byzantine princess Eudoxia with her parents, Emperor Theodosius II and Empress Eudoxia, on a pilgrimage being exorcised of a demon by St Stephen in a posthumous miracle. On the right a disabled man also awaits a cure. This is a panel on the altarpiece of Sant Esteve de Granollers. The MNAC holds 13 panels from this altarpiece, of which 9 were painted by the Vergos workshop, and 4, part of the dust-shield, are attributed to Joan Gasco, d. 1529. The altarpiece is originally from the high altar of the parish church of Sant Esteve de Granollers, Valles Oriental, Spain. Picture by Manuel Cohen
