EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we witness a powerful moment of religious confrontation and divine intervention. St Dominic, an emblematic figure of the Christian faith, stands tall as he presents a book professing the true teachings of Christianity to an Albigensian envoy. The scene is set ablaze by a raging fire that threatens to consume both books. As tensions rise between these two opposing forces - one representing orthodoxy and the other heresy - something extraordinary occurs. Miraculously, St Dominic's book remains untouched by the flames while the heretic Albigensians' book succumbs to its fiery fate. This symbolic act serves as a testament to the righteousness and authenticity of St Dominic's beliefs. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Fra Angelico, renowned for his ability to capture spiritual themes with unparalleled beauty and precision. This particular engraving forms part of a larger predella depicting the Coronation of the Virgin. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only a historical event but also an eternal struggle between truth and falsehoods. It reminds us that even in moments of great turmoil or revolution, faith can endure unscathed if it is grounded in genuine conviction. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and convictions while marveling at Fra Angelico's artistic genius.
