EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Saint Justina of Padua" by Bartolomeo Montagna. Created around 1490, this oil on wood painting measures 48.6 x 37.5 cm and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The image captures a fragment from an altarpiece featuring Saint Justina, presenting her as an idealized saint while incorporating elements of contemporary portraiture. The composition highlights her martyrdom, symbolized by the palm branch and sword she holds. According to historical accounts, she was executed on Emperor Maximian's orders in 304 AD. Montagna's skillful brushwork beautifully portrays Saint Justina's serene expression and delicate features, emphasizing her beauty and devotion to Christianity. Her costume adorned with intricate jewelry adds a touch of elegance to the painting. This Italian Renaissance masterpiece reflects both religious symbolism and artistic excellence typical of that period. The artist masterfully combines elements such as the halo above Saint Justina's head and the slashing technique used for texture throughout the piece. As we admire this remarkable work, we are transported back to Quattrocento Italy, specifically Padua where Montagna hailed from. This print allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic brilliance – a testament to Montagna's talent as well as his deep understanding of religious art during that era.
