EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Twelve Apostles: St. Thaddeus" a remarkable work of art created by Giulio Romano in 1518-20. Measuring at 21.2x12.1 cm, this chalk on paper masterpiece is part of The Devonshire Collections housed at Chatsworth. Romano's skillful hand brings to life the enigmatic figure of St. Thaddeus, one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus Christ himself. This high Renaissance drawing exudes an air of mystery and reverence as it captures the essence of this revered saint. Previously attributed to Raphael, another renowned Italian artist, this piece exemplifies Romano's mastery in capturing intricate details with precision and finesse. The composition portrays a young man holding an axe-like polearm known as a poleaxe, symbolizing strength and determination. Every stroke of chalk on paper breathes life into St. Thaddeus' face, conveying his wisdom and devotion through his piercing gaze and serene expression. Romano's attention to detail is evident in the delicate shading that adds depth to every contour. "The Twelve Apostles: St. Thaddeus" stands as a testament to the enduring power of Renaissance artistry, showcasing not only Romano's talent but also immortalizing the spiritual significance embodied by these biblical figures.
