EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from Luca Signorelli's fresco "Damned to Hell" in the Duomo of Orvieto, Italy. In this detailed close-up, we are drawn into the turmoil of a shapely woman who is being forcefully lifted against her will by a blue demon with a horn on his forehead. Signorelli, known for his mastery of depicting human anatomy and emotions, includes himself in this self-portrait as he alludes to what seems to be a deeply personal story. The blonde woman in question may have been unfaithful to him, and through this artwork, Signorelli expresses his anguish and resentment. The composition is filled with tension and drama. The contrast between the delicate beauty of the woman's form and the grotesque appearance of the demon creates an unsettling juxtaposition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both physical strain and emotional distress. As viewers, we are left intrigued by this glimpse into Signorelli's private world. This print allows us to appreciate not only the technical skill behind his work but also invites us to ponder upon themes such as betrayal, power dynamics, and personal struggles that transcend time. Ghigo Roli has expertly captured this momentous artwork through their lens, allowing us to bring home a piece of art history that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
