Gaetano Susali (1724-79)
St. Cajetan
Church of St. Marcuola, Venice, Italy
St. Cajetan (Gaetano di Thiene) is often pictured with the Christ Child. This is not the only time he is shown kissing the child's feet. The high-collared cassock is almost universal among his portraits, but the
zuccheto
a skullcap worn by some Catholic clergy
is not.
