EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Filippino Lippi's masterpiece, "The Raising of the Son of Theophilus and Saint Peter enthroned". Painted between 1428 and 1480 as a fresco in the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy, this artwork is an extraordinary representation of religious devotion during the Quattrocento period. In this scene, we witness a miraculous event unfolding before our eyes. The central figure of Saint Peter is seated on a magnificent throne, exuding authority and divine power. Surrounding him are numerous figures from biblical times - apostles, Bible characters - all witnessing an awe-inspiring resurrection. A young child lies lifeless on a shroud-covered table while his grieving parents look on with hopelessness etched upon their faces. The composition is rich with symbolism; a skull and skeleton remind us of mortality while emphasizing the triumph over death through faith. The crowd that gathers represents various religious orders united by their belief in miracles and eternal life after death. Raffaello Bencini's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and brushstroke present in Lippi's original work. From the delicate expressions on each face to the vibrant colors used to depict garments and architectural elements, this image transports us back to fifteenth-century Italy. As we contemplate this profound piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring impact on Catholicism and Christianity as a whole. It serves as a testament to the power of faith and offers solace for those seeking spiritual enlightenment even today.
