Kardinal Bessarion vor seinem Kreuzpartikel-Reliquiar

Cardinal Bessarion with the Bessarion Reliquary

The Greek Cardinal Bessarion kneels before his reliquary containing fragments of Christ's True Cross. Behind are two members of the brotherhood who received this gift in 1472. This painting was the door of the cupboard designed to store the reliquary. Keyholes (now filled) can be seen on the right.
