EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting the scene of curing the sick on the day of the death of St. Louis of Toulouse. Painted by Simone Martini in 1317 as part of the Altar of St. Louis, this predella panel showcases Martini's mastery in tempera on panel. The image portrays a solemn atmosphere with its depiction of a death bed surrounded by mournful figures. A bishop stands at the center, his presence commanding and compassionate as he administers healing to those afflicted with illness. Monks and bishops gather around him, their faces filled with hope and reverence for this miraculous event. St. Louis himself is not physically present but his influence permeates through every brushstroke, symbolizing his canonization in 1317 and his reputation for performing miracles during his lifetime. The early Renaissance style employed by Martini adds an air of elegance to this sacred scene. Commissioned by Robert the Wise, King of Sicily, this altarpiece holds great significance within Italian art history. It now resides in Museo e Gallerie Nazionale di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy where it continues to inspire awe and admiration among visitors. Through this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time when faith was intertwined with daily life and miracles were believed possible even on days marked by sorrow and loss.
