German School (XV-XVI) - Saint Acharius et Saint Camorius
German School of the 16th century
Saint Acharius and Saint Camorius, circa 1500
Oil on panel
Unsigned
On panel 85 x 54 cm
Provenance: Private collection, Monaco
Information: Saint Achaire de Noyon (in Latin Acharius) appears in the chronicles of Froissart. He is particularly known for curing King Charles VI of his madness. The first manifestation of the young king's madness occurred during the military expedition against the Duchy of Brittany in the Forest of Le Mans on August 5, 1392. This could explain why saints hold tree branches in their hands.
