EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Bartolome Esteban Murillo's masterpiece, "History of the foundation of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome: the dream of the patrician". Painted in 1665, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 232x525 cm and is housed at the Museo del Prado in Madrid. In this particular section of the painting, we are transported to ancient Rome where a nobleman lies peacefully asleep amidst a bustling construction site. The artist skillfully captures both the tranquility of slumber and the vibrant energy surrounding him. With his eyes closed, it is evident that he is immersed in a vivid dream or perhaps experiencing a premonitory revelation. Murillo's mastery shines through as he effortlessly blends elements of Baroque style with Italian influences. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to every brushstroke, creating an immersive experience for viewers. The subject matter itself holds historical significance as it depicts the foundation history of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of Rome's most iconic churches. This detail serves as a testament to Murillo's ability not only to capture beauty but also to convey important narratives through his art. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this momentous artwork through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur even from afar. Her photograph preserves not only Murillo's talent but also highlights her own artistic sensibilities.
