Saint Zenobius was a Florentine nobleman who was converted to Christianity and baptised as an adult, ultimately becoming the first Bishop of Florence. Dying in 417 AD, he is venerated for several miracles attributed to him. Scenes from his life were depicted in a series of paintings by Botticelli in 1500-1505, one of which has been brought to Australia with 60 other treasures from London’s National Gallery, now on show in Canberra at our own National Gallery in Botticelli to Van Gogh: Masterpieces from the National Gallery, London until 14 June.
