The royal saint (whose sceptre is tipped with a fleur-de-lis) is probably St Louis, but he might be Edward the Confessor or Hermengild. A painting by Annibale Carracci of Christ in Glory in the Pitti Palace, Florence, shows the two latter saints kneeling in worship, and Odoardo Farnese praying beside St Edward, his patron. See the catalogue of the Carracci exhibition, Bologna, 1956, no. 104, pl. 104. |
