EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century masterpiece, titled "The Holy Trinity with Saint Michael Conquering the Dragon," is a captivating drawing by the renowned Italian artist Pietro da Cortona. Created in 1666, this work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Christianity and the enduring power of mythology. The drawing, executed in black chalk, brown ink, and grey wash heightened with lead white and black chalk on tan laid paper laid down on tan laid card, measures an impressive height of 23.5 cm x 33.5 cm (9 1/4 in x 13 1/8 in). The composition showcases the Holy Trinity - God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit - seated atop a cloud, surrounded by angels and saints. At the center of the drawing, Saint Michael, the Archangel, is depicted in a heroic stance, brandishing a sword and shield as he triumphantly conquers the mythical dragon beneath him. The dragon, a symbol of evil and chaos, is depicted with menacing scales, sharp claws, and fiery breath. The intricate details and dynamic energy of this drawing are a testament to Pietro da Cortona's exceptional artistic skill. The use of chalk, ink, and wash creates a rich texture and depth, bringing the figures and mythical creatures to life. This drawing is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or mythology. Currently, "The Holy Trinity with Saint Michael Conquering the Dragon" is on exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This drawing is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the timeless stories and beliefs that have shaped human history.
