Newsnote: “Rare 19th century embroidery portrait of Vincent de Paul”

The Vincentiana Collections at DePaul University’s Archives and Special Collections has recently purchased an early 19th century embroidered portrait of Vincent de Paul. The face of the saint is drawn while the rest of the details of his portrait are done with silk embroidery. This piece will be part of the upcoming (January 2017) exhibition in DePaul’s Art Museum entitled: “The Many Faces of Vincent de Paul: Expressions of French Romanticism.”
