EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite fresco of St. Luke, found in the pendentive of the cupola at Sant Andrea della Valle in Rome, Italy. Created by Domenichino (Domenico Zampieri) in 1623, this masterpiece captures the essence of St. Luke as an evangelist. In this image, we see a powerful symbol of St. Luke portrayed as an ox, representing his role as one of the four Gospel writers. The saint is depicted holding a scroll, signifying his authorship and contribution to the New Testament. Surrounded by intricate details and heavenly elements such as cherubs and putti, St. Luke's portrait is elevated to divine status within this painting. The presence of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, further emphasizes his connection to her through their shared devotion. The skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this composition while highlighting every brushstroke made by Domenichino's hand. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured in monochrome tones, we are transported back in time to witness the mastery behind its creation. This print serves as a testament to both Domenichino's artistic brilliance and our enduring fascination with religious iconography throughout history.
