# Legend of St Brigid \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LOTTO, Lorenzo]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The detail shows the Miracle of the Garb. The narrative of the deeds of Brigid begins next to the apse with her entry into the order. During the ceremony of assuming her garb before the altar, the wood on the altar steps begins to sprout new growth when Brigid touches it. Portraits of the Suardi family appear as witnesses of the miracle. An apparent gap in the wall offers a view of Brigid distributing alms in the form of food. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Allegory of Chastity detail\)]() - [Allegory of Chastity \("Maiden's Dream"\)]() - [Allegory of Virtue and Vice \(detail\)]() - [Allegory of Virtue and Vice]() - [Angel Annunciating]() - [Angel of the Annunciation]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation]() - [Architect]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
