EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring masterpiece, "Communion of St. Teresa of Avila" painted by Claudio Coello in approximately 1670. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 248x222 cm and is currently housed at the Museo Lazaro Galdiano in Madrid, Spain. The painting depicts a profound moment as St. Teresa of Avila receives communion, surrounded by an ethereal atmosphere. Dressed in her Carmelite nun habit and adorned with a radiant halo, she stands out against the dark background. Her expression reflects both deep contemplation and spiritual ecstasy. Coello's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, particularly in capturing the intricate vestments worn by St. Teresa and the delicate features of her face. The composition exudes a sense of serenity and divine presence that resonates with viewers. St. Teresa of Avila (1515-82) was a Spanish mystic, writer, reformer, and saint who played a significant role within Catholicism during the Counter-Reformation period. She founded several convents throughout Spain while emphasizing personal prayer experiences as pathways to union with God. This remarkable print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Coello's skillful portrayal of this revered figure from history while honoring St. Teresa's enduring legacy as a symbol of faith and devotion.
