Saint Ursula
1754
Saint Ursula takes center stage in this swirling Rococo masterpiece, her crown gleaming as she points dramatically toward a single star in the heavens. Clad in a flowing green gown with a pink cloak, she seems to be guiding the rugged boatman beside her, who grips his oar and gazes up in awe. Painted by Franz Sigrist the Elder in 1754, the scene captures the legendary martyr's voyage with theatrical flair, using dynamic poses and soft, dreamy lighting typical of the era. It's a moment of divine navigation, where faith literally points the way through the storm.
