EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the Blessed Agostino Novello Altarpiece, painted by Simone Martini in 1328. The detail focuses on Agostino Novella rescuing a child who has been bitten by a dog, specifically one suffering from rabies. In this Renaissance masterpiece, we witness the miraculous healing power of prayer and faith. The scene is filled with tension and emotion as Agostino kneels beside the wounded child, his hands clasped in fervent prayer. Blood stains can be seen on the ground, evidence of the severity of the attack. A stick lies nearby, perhaps used by Agostino to fend off or distract the rabid animal. The painting beautifully depicts both fear and hope; fear represented by the wild-eyed dog chasing after its prey, and hope embodied in Agostino's unwavering determination to save this innocent life. It is an anecdote that speaks to our universal desire for protection and deliverance in times of danger. Martini's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the expressions on each character's face to their intricate clothing. This artwork not only showcases artistic mastery but also serves as a reminder that miracles can happen even in moments of despair. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our own capacity for compassion and resilience when faced with adversity. It is through acts of selflessness like those depicted here that humanity finds strength and salvation amidst chaos.
