EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, based on a painting by Fra Angelico, transports us back to the 14th century and immerses us in a pivotal moment of religious conflict. The scene depicts St. Dominic, a revered figure in medieval history, engaged in an encounter with an envoy of the Albigensians - members of a heretical sect that challenged the established Catholic Church. In this powerful image, St. Dominic is seen handing over a book containing the account of true faith to the Albigensian representative. It symbolizes his unwavering commitment to spreading Catholic doctrine and combating heresy. However, what makes this artwork truly extraordinary is the miraculous event unfolding at its right side: as if defying logic and physics, we witness the very book leaping out from flames into which it had been consigned by these heretics. The intensity captured within this engraving encapsulates not only the fervor with which both sides defended their beliefs but also highlights St. Dominic's unwavering conviction in his mission as he confronts those who challenge orthodox teachings. Through Fra Angelico's masterful brushwork translated into delicate engravings like these, we are transported back to an era where religion played a central role in society and individuals were willing to go to great lengths - even risking persecution or death - for their faith. This print from Granger Art on Demand serves as both an artistic treasure and historical artifact that allows us to delve deeper into medieval France's complex tapestry of religious
