The artwork titled “Immaculate Conception (center), St. Eustachian (left) and St. Blaise (right),” created by Giorgio Vasari, belongs to the Mannerism (Late Renaissance) art movement and is classified as a religious painting.
The artwork comprises three distinct sections: the central piece, “Immaculate Conception,” and two side panels depicting St. Eustachian on the left and St. Blaise on the right. The central painting captures the Immaculate Conception, wherein the Virgin Mary is depicted surrounded by cherubs and celestial beings, emphasizing her purity and divine nature. The left panel presents St. Eustachian, portrayed as an elderly man in religious attire, possibly a bishop’s mitre, and holding a staff, indicative of his ecclesiastical status. The right panel depicts St. Blaise, characterized by a noble and youthful appearance, clad in a red cloak, carrying arrows, alongside a dog. The composition of the three artworks collectively encapsulates a profound religious narrative, deeply reflective of the Mannerist penchant for intricate detail and expressive forms.
