EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century print showcases the masterful work of Italian Baroque artist Ercole Ferrata (1610-1686) titled "Sant Angel." The image captures an angelic figure, poised in mid-flight, holding a cross aloft. The ethereal figure is depicted in intricate detail, with delicate wings outstretched and a serene expression on its face. The cross, carved from the same marble as the angel, adds an air of devotion and religious significance to the piece. The setting for this stunning work is the iconic Sant'Angelo Bridge in Rome, Italy. The bridge, designed by the renowned Gian Lorenzo Bernini, is a testament to the rich history and artistic legacy of the Eternal City. The bridge's ancient architecture serves as a stunning backdrop to the angelic figure, highlighting the interplay between the modern and historical elements of the scene. Ercole Ferrata was a prominent figure in the Italian Baroque art scene, known for his intricate marble sculptures and figurative works. This print, with its intricate details and masterful execution, is a testament to Ferrata's skill and artistic vision. The use of marble, a material synonymous with durability and elegance, adds to the timeless quality of the piece. The angelic figure, with its winged form and cross, is a common motif in religious art. The image of an angel bearing a cross is often associated with the Christian belief in the redemptive power of the cross and the divine intervention of angels. This print, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a must-have for any art or religious history enthusiast.
