EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Mystical Vision of St Bernard" a remarkable oil painting from the 17th century by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, also known as Il Grechetto. The artwork is housed in the Santa Maria della Cella church in Genoa, Italy. The painting depicts St Bernard of Clairvaux, a prominent figure in Christian history during the 12th century. With an aureole surrounding his head and a crown of thorns atop it, St Bernard's face reflects both pain and ecstasy. His eyesight seems transfixed on something beyond this world, evoking a sense of mysticism. Intricate details are visible throughout the piece - from the blood dripping down his forehead to the wounds on his hands symbolizing Christ's crucifixion. Angels surround him, emphasizing his holy connection with divinity. Castiglione's baroque style shines through in this masterpiece as he skillfully captures religious fervor and devotion. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to each element within the composition. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly photographed this iconic artwork, preserving its beauty for all to admire. Through her lens, we can appreciate every brushstroke that brings St Bernard's mystical vision to life. This print serves as a testament to both religious artistry and historical significance while offering viewers an opportunity to delve into centuries-old spiritual experiences captured on canvas.
