Surrounding her are symbolic figures representing different aspects of Catholic doctrine and teachings. Painted meticulously on wood using oil as a medium, this fine art piece exemplifies Allori's mastery in capturing intricate details and conveying complex concepts through visual storytelling. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to each character while enhancing their individual significance within the overall narrative.
