Saint Rosalia Crowned by Angels (Palermo)

Saint Rosalia Crowned by Angels is a c.1624 oil on canvas painting by the studio of Anthony van Dyck, one of several works showing the saint produced whilst van Dyck was quarantined in Palermo, Sicily due to a plague.[1] It is now in the Galleria Regionale del Palazzo Abatellis in Palermo, where in 2015 it was displayed alongside Saint Rosalie Interceding, loaned from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[2]

It is thought to be a studio version of the autograph work now in Houston[3][4] Their composition is very similar to that of two other 1624 works now in the Wellington Collection at Apsley House in London[5][6] and the Menil Collection. They all show the influence of Pietro Novelli, then also in the city.[7]
