Once upon a time, the boundless imagination of master storyteller James C. Christensen created a series of paintings under the guise of an obscure (and fictitious) 15th century Flemish painter. This enigmatic collection became known as “Saints and Angels” for its similarities to the devotional art of that era, as well as its portrayals of largely forgotten Christian saints. Previous Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Limited Editions from the Saints and Angels collection include "Isabella" and "The Enoch Altarpiece."

The subject of "Saint with White Sleeves" does not appear to be a specific saint, and the model for this striking portrait was likely one of the Master’s patrons. It was customary at the time for the wealthy to request that their portraits incorporate characteristics of saints or angels. In "Saint with White Sleeves," the halo suggests a saint, yet the white sleeves hint at angel’s wings.
