EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Polyptyx of Saint Dominic, an exquisite masterpiece created by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi in 1437. The artwork is housed in the Church of San Domenico in Fiesole, Italy. In this particular section of the polyptych, we are presented with a stunning depiction of Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Barnabas. Saint Thomas Aquinas, known for his profound intellect and theological writings, is portrayed holding a book and feather quill as symbols of his scholarly pursuits. His gaze is focused intently on the text before him, suggesting deep contemplation. Standing beside him is Saint Barnabas, recognized as one of the early Christian apostles renowned for his generosity and encouragement towards others. The artists' meticulous attention to detail shines through every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical likeness but also conveying spiritual depth within these holy figures. The vibrant colors used by Angelico and Lippi bring life to their subjects while evoking a sense of divine presence. This photograph taken by Nicolo Orsi Battaglini beautifully captures this momentous artwork in all its glory. It serves as a testament to the enduring power that religious art holds over centuries – transporting viewers back to fifteenth-century Italy where faith intersected with artistic brilliance.
