A Miracle of the Eucharist

To the right, a Carmelite lay brother has been struck dead, and just above him, a devil is carrying away his soul. The consecrated Host is bleeding, indicating perhaps that the lay brother had doubted the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This is a "predella" (narrative) panel from the Arte del Lana (woolworkers' guild) altarpiece: other panels exist in Rome, Budapest, Siena and Melbourne altar. Size: 40.6 x 26.7 cm.
