EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. Nicholas of Bari" by Mattia Preti, also known as Il Calabrese. Painted in oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 128.5x104 cm and is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. The portrait depicts St. Nicholas, a revered figure from history who lived around 346 AD. Dressed in his bishop's attire, he exudes an air of wisdom and authority. The intricately detailed mitre on his head symbolizes his high rank within the church hierarchy, while the crozier held firmly in his hand represents his role as a shepherd guiding his flock. Notably present are three golden balls hanging from a chain around St. Nicholas' neck - an iconic attribute associated with him throughout history. These golden orbs allude to the legendary story of how he saved three young girls from destitution by secretly providing them with dowries. Preti's masterful use of light and shadow creates depth and realism within this baroque-style painting. Every brushstroke brings out the saint's gentle yet determined expression, capturing both his spiritual devotion and compassionate nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness the presence of one of Christianity's most beloved figures – St. Nicholas – forever immortalized through artistry that transcends centuries.
