Additional Information

Oil on canvas dating from between 1615-1619. Painted under the canons of the Lisbon School it is attributable to the painter Amaro do Vale who had allegedly produced it for a Lisbon church.
In 1878/1879 it is taken to the chuck of Our Lady of the Consolation at the Castle.
Of evident Italian influence it is centred on the iconography of the Virgin Mary surrounded by the Holy Trinity - The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit over a lower plan of angels.
At Lisbon's Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga there is a iron gall ink drawing attributed to Amaro do Vale (MNAA, inv.654)
