EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense and dramatic scene of "SS. Cosmas and Damian Condemned to Burn at the Stake" taken from the predella of the Annalena Altarpiece. Painted by Angelico, Fra (Guido di Pietro) in 1434, this masterpiece measures 20x22 cm and is currently housed in the Church of San Marco, Florence, Italy. In this Renaissance artwork, we witness a momentous event as these revered saints endure the ultimate test of faith - being subjected to flames. The composition exudes both agony and divine grace as their bodies are engulfed by fire. Their expressions reflect unwavering devotion amidst unimaginable suffering. The image serves as a powerful reminder of martyrdom and sacrifice for one's beliefs. Saints Cosmas and Damian were renowned for their miraculous healing abilities during their lifetime but met a tragic end due to persecution under Roman Emperor Diocletian. Despite facing an agonizing death, they remained steadfast in their faith until their last breath. Angelico's masterful use of tempera on panel brings forth vivid colors that intensify the inferno surrounding these martyrs. The intricate details capture every flicker of flame with remarkable precision. This print not only captures a significant moment in art history but also invites contemplation on themes such as devotion, resilience, and spiritual fortitude that continue to resonate today.
