<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 297186, member: 5833"]Before I looked at the back I felt the books & scrolls indicated a Doctor of the Church, the skull cap, a monk, both of which St. (the Venerable) Bede was. It's an unconventional depiction; all the others I turned up show him elderly & bearded. Having the Virgin appear to him is not part of his story, so I like SBSVC's account of why she would be in the scene. Since he is young here, perhaps a foretelling of when he will die? I also find the image appealing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
