EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Saint Gregory the Great and Saint Jerome pray for the souls in purgatory" we are transported to a scene of divine intervention. The artist, Francesco Fontebasso, skillfully captures the essence of spiritual devotion and redemption. At the center of the composition, we see Saint Gregory the Great, known for his compassion and wisdom as Pope. He is depicted alongside Saint Jerome, a monk and hermit renowned for his scholarly pursuits. Together, they fervently beseech God's mercy on behalf of souls trapped in purgatory. Angels descend from heaven to carry these suffering souls towards salvation. Their ethereal presence symbolizes hope and deliverance. Above them, Mary and the Christ child grace a cloud with their celestial radiance, offering comfort and solace to those seeking liberation. The intricate details within this artwork reveal various attributes associated with both saints: St. Gregory's possible deafness is represented by an angel whispering into his ear while Emperor Trajan stands nearby; St. Jerome holds a book signifying his scholarly endeavors along with other symbols such as a cardinal's hat, crucifix, hour-glass, lion (representing courage), skull (symbolizing mortality), stone (alluding to penitence), and liberation from purgatory. Fontebasso's masterful etching technique brings depth and texture to this poignant portrayal of faith transcending earthly boundaries. Through this image alone one can feel the power of prayer reaching beyond life itself - an everlasting testament to humanity's quest for spiritual enlightenment.
