EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century print, titled "St Louis of Toulouse and St Anthony of Padua with St Stephen" is a masterpiece by Spinello or Spinelli, Aretino Luca. Measuring at an impressive 124.5x67.9 cm, this tempera on wood artwork can be found in the Nottingham City Museums and Galleries. The painting showcases three revered saints from Christian history. On the left side stands Saint Louis of Toulouse, a young bishop known for his noble lineage as a Neapolitan prince of the Capetian House of Anjou. Opposite him is Saint Anthony of Padua, also called Anthony of Lisbon, who was renowned as a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar belonging to the Franciscan Order. He is widely recognized as the patron saint for finding lost things. Hovering above them both sits Saint Stephen, an iconic figure from early Christianity who lived during the first century AD. This composition beautifully captures their individuality through meticulous iconography and symbolic elements such as flags, books, habits, banners, and censers. The artist's attention to detail shines through in every brushstroke; each character exudes spirituality and devotion in their expressions and gestures. The painting's arch structure adds depth to its overall composition while emphasizing the significance these saints hold within religious traditions. This remarkable piece invites viewers into a world where faith intersects with artistry—a testament to humanity's enduring quest for spiritual connection throughout history.
