Brief description of the work and author profile: Oil painting depicting S. Vincenzo Ferrer preaching to the crowd. The saint is depicted with the identification symbols of the crucifix, the flame on his head and the angel wings of the Apocalypse. An angel also carries a branch of lily and another that is near the right hand of the saint pointing to God, holds an open book with the inscription clearly indicating what the saint preaches: Timete / Deum / et date / illi / honorem / quia / venit / hora / Iudij / eius - Fear God and give him honor, for the hour of your judgment is coming.
