EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Study of Federigo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino" by Joos van Gent. The artwork depicts a clockwise arrangement of influential figures from different eras, emphasizing the intellectual and cultural richness that surrounded the Duke. At the top left corner, Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle are portrayed, symbolizing their profound impact on Western thought. Moving to the right, Ptolemy, an esteemed astronomer known for his geocentric model of the universe, represents scientific knowledge. Continuing along this remarkable composition, Boethius emerges as a prominent philosopher whose works greatly influenced medieval thinking. St. Augustine of Hippo follows suit with his theological insights and philosophical musings. Further down the panel stand three revered saints: St. Ambrose, St. Jerome, and Pope Gregory the Great. These figures represent pillars of Christianity during their respective times and contributed significantly to religious doctrine. Each individual depicted in this artwork played a significant role in shaping various fields such as philosophy, science, theology, and governance throughout history. "The Study of Federigo da Montefeltro" is housed within Palazzo Ducale in Urbino Italy—a fitting location for such an intellectually stimulating piece given its association with one of Renaissance Italy's most renowned patrons—Duke Federigo da Montefeltro himself. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's collection comes an opportunity to appreciate not only Joos van Gent's artistic talent but also reflect
