The Vision of St. Bernard
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by Filippino Lippi that transports viewers to the spiritual realm of Renaissance Florence. This print allows us to delve into the intricate details and immerse ourselves in the profound narrative depicted on this tempera and oil panel. At first glance, we are drawn to St. Bernard, seated at his desk with an expression of weariness upon his face. His tired eyes fixate on a vision unfolding before him – the Blessed Virgin Mary herself appearing in all her divine glory. Surrounding St. Bernard are angels, their ethereal presence illuminating the scene with celestial light. Intriguingly, monks from the Cistercian order stand beside him, witnessing this miraculous event alongside their revered leader. The landscape beyond them reveals a tranquil setting that contrasts with the intensity of this supernatural encounter. Notably, Francesco del Pugliese can be seen as a donor figure within this composition, offering insight into both religious devotion and patronage during this period. Symbolism abounds throughout "The Vision of St. Bernard" including chains representing demonic forces being broken by heavenly intervention and an owl perched nearby signifying wisdom amidst darkness. This print invites us to explore every brushstroke and nuance captured by Lippi's skilled hand while contemplating themes of faith, spirituality, and divine revelation that continue to resonate today.
