EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Saint Augustin et le bébé (St Augustine And The Baby)" showcases the exquisite painting by Alessandro Magnasco, also known as il Lissandrino. Created between 1730 and 1740, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 146.5x121.6 cm and is currently housed in Genova's Musei di Strada Nuova. The painting depicts Saint Augustine, a renowned theologian and philosopher of the early Christian church, engaging with a baby. Magnasco's skillful brushwork brings to life the tender interaction between these two figures from different stages of life. Intriguingly, this artwork offers an unconventional portrayal of Saint Augustine compared to traditional religious imagery. Here, he is depicted not as a stern bishop or scholar but rather as a compassionate figure embracing the innocence and purity symbolized by the baby. Magnasco's use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while his delicate handling of details captures every nuance in their expressions and gestures. This evocative piece invites viewers to contemplate themes such as human connection, spirituality, and the inherent goodness found within each individual. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography beautifully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable painting, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty even if they cannot visit it in person at Musei di Strada Nuova in Genova.
