EDITORS COMMENTS
Sanctus Lucas" is a stunning 18th century engraving by the renowned Italian artist, Marco Alvise Pitteri. This work of art depicts Saint Luke, one of the twelve apostles and the patron saint of artists and physicians, in a thoughtful and contemplative pose. The image, reminiscent of the biblical era, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of human form and emotion. The apostle is depicted in head and shoulders format, wearing a simple headdress adorned with lettering that reads "Sanctus Lucas," meaning "Holy Luke" in Latin. The artist, Giambattista Piazzetta's influence is evident in the subtle use of chiaroscuro and the elegant, flowing lines that define the figure. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of the Christian faith on European art. It is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the history of art, particularly those interested in the depiction of biblical characters. Originally created in the eighteenth century, this work of art has been carefully preserved and is now part of the prestigious collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the role that art plays in shaping our understanding of history and the human condition. Whether you are a scholar of art history, a lover of the arts, or simply someone with an appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the human form, this engraving by Marco Alvise Pitteri is sure to inspire and captivate you.
