EDITORS COMMENTS
This detailed print captures a section of Paolo Uccello's painting titled "Predella of the Profanation of the Host: The Body of the Jewish Pawnbroker Guarded by Angels and Devils". Created around 1468, this tempera on panel artwork is housed in Palazzo Ducale in Urbino, Italy. The scene depicted here showcases an intense moment filled with religious tension and prejudice. In the foreground, we see the lifeless body of a Jewish pawnbroker being guarded by both angels and devils. This portrayal reflects anti-Semitic sentiments prevalent during that time period. The landscape surrounding the central figures features an orange tree, adding a touch of vibrant color to an otherwise somber atmosphere. The altar in the background serves as a stark reminder of religious conflict and hatred. Uccello's work belongs to the Renaissance era, characterized by its attention to detail and realistic representation. This particular piece explores themes such as antisemitism, discrimination, and religious miracles. By examining this painting closely, viewers are transported back to 15th-century Italy where arguments over faith were rife. It serves as a poignant reminder of how art can reflect societal prejudices while also providing insight into historical events.
