EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "Virgin and Child Appearing to St. Philip Neri" by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. The artwork, created in 1725-26, measures an impressive 367x200 cm and is housed in the Santa Maria della Fava in Venice, Italy. In this masterpiece, we witness St. Philip Neri deep in prayer as he experiences a divine encounter with the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus. As an apostle of Rome and a devoted priest, St. Philip's faith is palpable through his humble posture and reverent expression. The Virgin of Mercy tenderly holds her infant son while appearing before St. Philip, bestowing upon him a sense of comfort and spiritual guidance. This Venetian scene beautifully showcases Piazzetta's skillful use of light and shadow to create depth and emotion within the painting. St. Philip Neri was known for founding the Oratorians, a religious order focused on preaching and pastoral care. His dedication to God's work shines through as he receives this heavenly visitation. Piazzetta's artistry transports us back to 18th-century Venice, where religion played a central role in daily life. This significant piece serves as both a testament to Italian religious devotion during that era and as an enduring symbol of faith for believers today. As we contemplate this extraordinary image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, let us be inspired by the unwavering faith depicted here
