EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable masterpiece titled "Up to Calvary. Life of Christ, Armadio degli Argenti" by Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro or Giovanni da Fiesole. Created between 1451 and 1453, this tempera on wood painting resides in the Museo di San Marco in Florence, Italy. The artwork depicts a significant moment from the life of Christ - his climb to Calvary and the carrying of the cross during the Way of the Cross. The aureole surrounding Christ is adorned with a cross, symbolizing his divine nature. Painted as part of the Cabinet of Sacred Vases or Silver Ex-Voto in Santissima Annunziata Church (Armadio degli Argenti), this piece reflects not only Fra Angelico's talent but also that of his pupils. It beautifully captures the passion and holy journey undertaken by Jesus Christ. Within this intricate composition, one can observe various elements such as Saint Mary Magdalene, Virgin Mary herself, religious symbols like crosses and scorpions representing different aspects of faith. This Renaissance-era painting holds immense biblical significance and serves as a testament to Fra Angelico's mastery. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every detail through her lens in this print while preserving its historical essence. As we admire this stunning work of art today, it reminds us of both its cultural importance and spiritual depth within Italian quattrocento art.
