The types are still those of the master, but the modeling is firmer and the design slightly more rigid and classical. ## Related artworks - [A Gathering of Friends]() - [Allegory of Poetry]() - [Caligula Depositing the Ashes of his Mother and Brother in the Tomb of his Ancestors]() - [Christ Healing the Blind Man]() - [Death of Raymond Diocrès]() - [Death of St Bruno]() - [Portrait of a Young Man]() - [Raymond Diocrès Announcing his Damnation after his Death]() - [Saint Bruno Is Taken to Heaven]() - [St Bruno Appearing to Comte Roger]() - [St Bruno at Prayer]() - [St Bruno at the Feet of Pope Urban II]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
