EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in religious history. In the foreground, we see "Ms 542 f. 3v Christ giving the keys to St. Peter" an illuminating scene from a psalter written by Don Appiano from the Church of the Badia Fiorentina in Florence, dating back to 1514-15. The focal point is undoubtedly Christ, depicted as he hands over the keys symbolizing authority and power to St. Peter, who kneels before him in reverence. This gesture signifies Jesus granting Peter with the responsibility of leading his church on Earth. Intriguingly, in the background of this artwork, another divine event unfolds - God delivers the Tablets of Law to Moses. This juxtaposition highlights both Old and New Testament narratives within one composition. The artist responsible for this masterpiece is Monte del Fora or di Giovanni (1448-1529), whose talent shines through every brushstroke and detail captured here. The sizeable dimensions of 63x44 cm allow viewers to appreciate all intricacies meticulously painted by hand. Currently housed at Museo di San Marco in Florence, Italy, this piece holds immense historical and artistic value. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and invites contemplation about faith and spirituality. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this remarkable work through a high-quality print that brings its beauty into our homes while honoring its out-of-copyright status.
