The legend inspired paintings like this, where Veronica holds up the miraculously imprinted cloth. This picture is very similar to one in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich, which gives the anonymous painter his identity as the Master of Saint Veronica. The Munich painting is more elaborate and includes groups of angels with colourful wings seated on the ground. There are traces of the draperies and wings of flying angels here, not painted but punched with little dots into the gold on either side of Veronica’s head, but they are now so worn they are barely visible.
