The altarpiece, originating from a French charterhouse in Thuison-les-Abbeville, depicts the revered figure of Saint Hugh of Lincoln. Standing in full length, this golden-hued portrait captures the essence of this medieval bishop who played a significant role in Christian history. Clad in traditional ecclesiastical attire, he exudes an air of authority and piety. The intricate details on his robe and mitre highlight the craftsmanship prevalent during the Renaissance period.
