EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th-century print depicts the Burial of Saints Cosmas and Damian, a renowned masterpiece by the Italian Renaissance artist Fra Angelico. Created between 1395 and 1455, this altarpiece is a testament to the artistic brilliance and devotional fervor of the period. The scene unfolds with the eponymous saints, Cosmas and Damian, lying in repose, their faces serene and peaceful, as they are tenderly carried towards their final resting place. Surrounded by a multitude of angels, the brothers are bathed in a soft, ethereal light, their clothing adorned in the rich, vibrant hues of the era. The predella, or lower panel, of the altarpiece, showcases various biblical scenes, further emphasizing the deep connection between the sacred and the secular during this period. The intricate details and subtle shading in the print evoke a sense of nostalgia for the classical, European past, while the fine art illustration captures the essence of the Catholic faith and its profound impact on the artistic and cultural landscape of the time. Fra Angelico, a Dominican friar, is celebrated for his innovative use of perspective and his ability to imbue his works with a sense of spiritual depth and emotional resonance. This print, with its stunning portrayal of the Burial of Saints Cosmas and Damian, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the transformative influence of the arts during the Renaissance era.
