EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a masterpiece by Simone Martini, titled "Detail of St. Peter, The Virgin with the Child flanked by St. Magdalene, St. Dominic, St. Peter and St. Paul". Created in 1320-21 using tempera, gold and silver leaf on panel, this artwork is housed in the Museo dell Opera del Duomo (MODO) in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. The focal point of this detail is Saint Peter himself - his expressive face exudes wisdom and devotion as he stands beside the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Flanking them are other important figures from Christian history: Saint Magdalene, Saint Dominic, and Saints Peter and Paul. Martini's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each figure seems to come alive against the golden background that symbolizes divinity. The use of gold and silver leaf adds a touch of opulence to the painting while enhancing its spiritual significance. This piece showcases Martini's mastery of medieval art techniques during the 14th century or "il trecento". It serves as a testament to his skillful portrayal of religious subjects that resonated deeply with viewers at that time. Thanks to Ghigo Roli's expert photography skills, we can now appreciate this remarkable artwork from afar. This print allows us to immerse ourselves in its beauty and marvel at its historical significance within Italian art history.
