EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Miracles of Saint Francis of Paola" a remarkable oil painting created by the renowned Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens in 1627-8. The artwork, measuring 110.5x79.4 cm, is currently housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. In this masterpiece, Rubens depicts the extraordinary healing powers possessed by Saint Francis of Paola, an Italian mendicant friar revered for his miraculous abilities. The scene unfolds as King Louis XI of France lies on his deathbed, surrounded by his royal court on the left side of the composition. Saint Francis stands prominently amidst this gathering, emanating a sense of divine power and compassion. His presence offers solace to those suffering from various afflictions - sicknesses, insanity, deafness, blindness - symbolizing his ability to cure and heal through Christian faith. The painting beautifully captures the essence of Baroque art with its dramatic lighting and rich color palette. It serves as a testament to Rubens' exceptional talent in portraying religious subjects with great emotional depth. "The Miracles of Saint Francis of Paola" not only celebrates the life and miracles performed by this revered saint but also highlights the profound impact he had on both individuals and society during that era. This image serves as a powerful reminder of faith's potential to bring hope and healing even in times marked by physical or spiritual infirmity.
