Description : San Giacomo Minore

Oil painting on canvas. Italian school of the seventeenth century. St. James of Alphaeus, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, is said to be the younger to be clearly distinguished from the other apostle named James, whose father was instead Zebedee and who is traditionally called James the Greater. In this painting he is depicted according to classical iconography, which describes him with a beard and long hair, dressed in a tunic and pallium, holding a long hooked staff; his attribute, in fact, is the instrument with which he was martyred, i.e. the stick used to card the wool with a hooked triangular end. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a regilded late 19th century frame.
