EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Virgin Saint John Evangelist 1500 Pen light dark brown ink" by Artokoloro. The piece, attributed to the renowned Italian artist Raffaellino del Garbo, also known as Raffaelle de Capponi and Carli, hails from Florence in the late 15th century. The intricate details of this drawing are truly remarkable. Executed with a delicate pen and brush using dark brown ink and heightened with white, it features a black chalk underdrawing that adds depth to the composition. The finely pricked holes suggest that this design may have served as a template for embroidery work on various liturgical vestments such as capes, chasubles, or altar frontals. Raffaellino's distinctive style resonates throughout this piece, reminiscent of his other works characterized by ornamental borders and chiaroscuro techniques. According to Giorgio Vasari, a sixteenth-century biographer of artists, certain nuns and skilled individuals were employed to embroider church vestments based on designs like these at ridiculous prices due to their exceptional quality. Measuring approximately 6 15/16 x 5 9/16 inches (177 x 142 cm), this print captures every minute detail faithfully. It is an extraordinary testament to Raffaellino del Garbo's talent and serves as a window into the artistic practices prevalent during that era in Florence.
