EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating fresco titled "St. Antoninus Drives Away Two False Beggars" transports viewers to 1613, where the talented artist Sigismondo Coccapani brings this powerful scene to life. The lunette-shaped print showcases St. Antoninus, a Dominican saint known for his compassion and dedication to helping the poor. In this striking image, we witness St. Antoninus reproving two mendicants who are feigning poverty while secretly counting their ill-gotten gains. With an air of authority and righteousness, he stands tall with a walking stick in hand, ready to defend those truly in need. A faithful dog accompanies him on this mission against deceitful beggars, symbolizing loyalty and vigilance in exposing falsehoods. Behind them lies a magnificent wall painting depicting scenes of poverty and suffering that serve as a constant reminder of the harsh realities faced by many. St. Antoninus's presence is commanding yet compassionate as he confronts these impostors with unwavering determination. His actions reflect his commitment to upholding justice and ensuring that resources reach those who genuinely require assistance. This masterpiece can be found at the Museo di San Marco in Florence, Italy – a treasure trove of Italian art history. Through Coccapani's skilled brushstrokes, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment when truth triumphs over deception and genuine acts of charity prevail over greed.
