EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Saint Rosalia Interceding Victims Plague Palestrina" by Carlo Maratti. Created between 1625 and 1713, this pen and brown ink drawing with brush wash is highlighted with white and black chalk on beige paper. Measuring at an impressive size of 12 1/16 x 8 11/16 inches (307 x 220 cm), it truly commands attention. Maratti's skillful technique is evident in this attractive drawing, which serves as a finished composition as well as a study for his painting. The focus of the piece lies in Saint Rosalia interceding on behalf of plague victims, reflecting the artist's deep empathy towards those affected by such calamities. Commissioned as a votive image by Prince Maffeo Barberini in Rome following a devastating outbreak in Palestrina during 1656, Maratti poured his heart into capturing the essence of hope and divine intervention through this artwork. The intricate details and subtle differences between this drawing and its painted counterpart demonstrate Maratti's meticulous approach to his craft. Through delicate strokes and expert use of light and shadow, he brings forth both beauty and solemnity within the scene. This print from Artokoloro allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Maratti's masterful work up close, inviting us to delve into the historical context while marveling at the talent that brought Saint Rosalia's intercession to life.
