A splendid oil on canvas, depicting Saint Gebhard, Bishop of Constance, standing in full episcopal vestments, wearing a red mitre and richly ornamented cope, and holding a bishop’s crozier and a palm branch, symbol of martyrdom. A celestial apparition appears in the upper left, while a landscape with figures and architectural elements provides the background. The lower edge bears a Latin inscription.
Saint Gebhard was appointed Bishop of Constance in 979 by Emperor Otto II and is particularly remembered for his charitable works, his commitment to ecclesiastical reform, and the foundation of the Benedictine Abbey of Petershausen in 983. Venerated as the patron saint of Constance and Vorarlberg, his feast day is celebrated on 27 August.
An evocative example of 17th-century religious painting, combining traditional episcopal iconography with a richly coloured and finely detailed Baroque composition.
