EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a sketch of the votive fresco for the plague of 1656, created by renowned artist Mattia Preti. Painted in oil on canvas during the 17th century, this powerful artwork is housed in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. The composition depicts a scene deeply rooted in Catholicism and Christianity. A mother tenderly cradles her child while seeking solace and protection from the devastating plague that ravaged Europe during that time. The image exudes spirituality and symbolizes faith amidst despair. Preti's masterful use of color brings life to this religious icon, with vibrant hues evoking both hope and sorrow. The painting serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the profound impact of illness on families. The Virgin Mary stands as an emblematic figure within this piece, representing compassion and divine intervention. Her presence offers comfort to those affected by tragedy, emphasizing their connection to God even in times of great suffering. Stefano Baldini's expert photography captures every intricate detail of Preti's work, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty up close. This print not only celebrates Italian artistry but also invites contemplation on themes such as love, loss, and resilience that transcend time and place.
