EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable fresco by Maso di Banco, depicting the legendary episodes of New Year's Eve involving Pope Saint Sylvester I. The scene showcases the pope closing the menacing mouth of a fearsome dragon on the left side, while simultaneously resurrecting two magi who had fallen victim to its breath. Painted between 1340 and 1348 in Florence's Chiesa di Santa Croce, Cappella Bardi, this artwork is an exquisite example of trecento art. Maso di Banco skillfully portrays Pope Sylvester I as a powerful figure capable of performing miracles. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this religious narrative, emphasizing both faith and bravery in the face of mythical creatures. This masterpiece not only highlights the artist's talent but also reflects the deep-rooted religious beliefs prevalent during that time. The combination of elements such as dragons, resurrection, and divine intervention make this fresco truly mesmerizing. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and transport us into ancient tales filled with wonder and awe. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power that lies within faith and our ability to overcome even the most formidable challenges. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this extraordinary work through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and detail from afar while immersing ourselves in centuries-old history right before our eyes.
