EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Paradise, 1445" by Paolo, Giovanni di. Measuring 47x40.6 cm and housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this masterpiece showcases tempera and gold on canvas transferred from wood. Part of an altarpiece dedicated to Saint Dominic in a Sienese chapel, the painting transports us to a heavenly garden where saints and angels intertwine. In this idyllic scene, we witness Saint Giles adorned in white robes with a gentle deer standing behind him. Beato Ambrogio Sansedoni, the patron saint of Siena, stands tall donning a black and white Dominican habit while holding a white dove. Saint Augustine appears as a bishop alongside his mother Saint Monica, portrayed as an elderly woman dressed in black. Saints Dominic and Peter Martyr are both depicted wearing the iconic Dominican habit. Lastly, we see Saint Anthony Abbot accompanied by two Dominican nuns. The composition exudes spirituality and tranquility through its meticulous details and vibrant colors characteristic of Italian Renaissance art. The panel is richly infused with religious symbolism that speaks to Christian beliefs and biblical narratives. Giovanni di Paolo's skillful brushwork brings forth an ethereal atmosphere that invites contemplation upon entering this divine realm. This print allows viewers to appreciate every nuance of this remarkable piece without leaving their own personal paradise – wherever it may be.
