EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Salvatore Postiglione's painting "The devil and the holy water" from 1887. The oil on canvas masterpiece, housed in the Gallery of Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano in Naples, Italy, depicts a scene filled with intrigue and symbolism. In this artwork, a veiled woman stands before a fountain holding a vessel of holy water. Her delicate features are contrasted by the presence of an ominous figure lurking behind her - the devil himself. The artist skillfully portrays this tension between good and evil through his use of color and composition. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail, from the flowing water to the woman's intricate veil. The contrasting shades highlight both her purity and vulnerability as well as the sinister nature of the devil lurking nearby. Postiglione's work is not only visually stunning but also invites contemplation about human nature and morality. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly innocent moments such as receiving a blessing with holy water, darkness can be present. Stefano Baldini's expert photography beautifully captures all these nuances, allowing viewers to appreciate this remarkable piece from afar. This print is not just an image; it is an invitation to delve into centuries-old artistry that continues to captivate audiences today.
