EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Charity (plaster)" by Giacomo Serpotta, a renowned Italian sculptor from the 17th century. The artwork is located in the Oratorio di San Lorenzo in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. In this image, we see a beautiful female figure standing gracefully with a sleeping baby cradled in her arms. The woman's gentle gesture and loving expression personify the divine virtue of Charity or altruism. Her semi-nude form adorned with delicate stucco details adds an ethereal touch to the scene. The rococo style of this sculpture is evident through its intricate design and attention to detail. The artist has skillfully captured every curve and contour, creating a lifelike representation that evokes emotions within viewers. The child on the podium symbolizes innocence and vulnerability while being embraced by Charity's nurturing presence. This portrayal emphasizes both the importance of caring for children and embodying selflessness towards others. "Charity (plaster)" serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's capacity for compassion and empathy. It encourages us to embrace acts of kindness, love, and support towards one another. Bridgeman Images has expertly reproduced this masterpiece into a stunning print that allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Serpotta's craftsmanship up close.
