EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail of the wood painting "Ex voto: The Virgin Mary protecting the city of Siena at the time of the earthquakes of 1466-1467" by Francesco di Giorgio Martini. Created in 1473, this masterpiece adorns a Biccherna, which served as the cover for the accounting register of Siena. The artwork depicts an awe-inspiring scene from Renaissance Italy, where the Virgin Mary stands tall and powerful amidst a backdrop of destruction caused by devastating earthquakes. Her presence exudes strength and protection as she shields the city with her outstretched arms. This ex voto painting serves as a testament to the faith and gratitude of those who survived these natural disasters. Martini's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only architectural elements but also conveying emotions through his skillful use of color and composition. The fortifications surrounding Siena are intricately rendered, emphasizing their role in safeguarding its inhabitants during turbulent times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to 15th-century Italy, immersing ourselves in its rich history and artistic heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in moments of despair, hope can be found through divine intervention.
