For an example of a dish painted with Saint Lucia in a similar landscape and incorporating similar foliate motifs in the border see Jeanne Giacomotti, Catalogue des majoliques des Musées nationaux, Paris, 1974, p. 156, no. 521. A related Deruta dish painted with a standing saint is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London see museum no. CIRC.338-1919.

Saint Geminianus was Bishop of Modena and is thought to have died in 397. He rarely appears in art, but when shown is typically depicted as an elderly bishop holding a crozier and perhaps a model of the city of Modena, of which he is the patron. He was said to have twice saved the city of Modena from destruction, first by his intercession when it was under attack by Attila the Hun, and second from the danger of floods.
