EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Piet" a remarkable painting by Beato Angelico, also known as fra' Giovanni da Fiesole. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Alte Pinakothek museum in Munich, Germany, showcasing its significance within Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to approximately 1430-1455 AD, this masterpiece depicts an intimate scene from the life of Christ. In the foreground stands Virgin Mary, accompanied by Nicodemus and other important men. They mournfully gather around Jesus' sepulcher, emphasizing the emotional depth conveyed through their expressions. Beato Angelico's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the delicate folds of clothing and fashion accessories worn by each individual to the portrayal of Saint John the Baptist on one side, no element goes unnoticed.
