Asleep Dreaming Holding Up Le Reve Vision
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Dream of Innocent III" from the predella panel of the Coronation of the Virgin, a masterpiece created by Fra Angelico in 1430-32. The artwork, displayed at the Louvre in Paris, France, showcases St. Dominic supporting the wavering church during a dream sequence. In this Renaissance-era painting, we witness St. Dominic as he holds up and supports a fragile church that appears to be on the verge of collapse. As he sleeps peacefully with closed eyes and serene expression, his vision takes him into an ethereal realm where his purpose becomes clear - to protect and strengthen the faith. Fra Angelico's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from intricate patterns adorning St. Dominic's robe to delicate facial features that convey both determination and tranquility simultaneously. The artist skillfully portrays not only religious symbolism but also human emotion through this portrayal. St. Dominic himself was known as the founder of the Dominican Order, dedicated to preaching and promoting Catholic teachings throughout Europe during medieval times. This particular scene represents his unwavering commitment towards fortifying an uncertain church amidst challenging circumstances. "The Dream of Innocent III" serves as a powerful reminder that even during moments of doubt or vulnerability, there are individuals who emerge as pillars of strength for others – guiding them towards spiritual enlightenment and renewal.
