Notes
  • Description:  This is one of a pair of paintings of the twin brothers St Cosmas and St Damian, both physicians. Wellcome recorded it as St Cosmas when he acquired it. They were Christians and never took money for their services. By order of Lysias, governor of Cilicia, they underwent various torments yet suffered no injury. The two saints are wearing academic dress. They are patron saints of physicians. This oil painting may be by a Spanish painter of the late eighteenth century as it was acquired as part of the Farmacie at Granada
