A Wikipedia article on Teresa of Avila, the Spanish Carmelite reformer and mystic canonized in 1622 and later named a Doctor of the Church for her writings on prayer and visionary experience, including The Interior Castle. The article documents her reputation for interceding on behalf of others in her visions, the same intercessory register a museum-held Rubens workshop panel of her, interceding for souls in purgatory, belongs to.
