EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite fresco painting titled "The Virgin and Child with SS Dominic and Thomas Aquinas" by Fra Angelico. Created between 1424-30, this masterpiece measures an impressive 196x187 cm and is currently housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The fresco depicts the Virgin Mary tenderly cradling baby Jesus while being accompanied by two prominent figures of Christianity: Saint Dominic and Saint Thomas Aquinas. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the purity and divinity of these holy figures. Saint Dominic, known for founding the Dominican Order, stands on one side of Mary holding a lily symbolizing purity. On the other side stands Saint Thomas Aquinas, a renowned theologian whose writings greatly influenced Christian philosophy. Both saints are depicted with halos signifying their sanctity. Originally located in the monastery of San Domenico da Fiesole, this remarkable fresco was removed during the 19th century before finding its current home at the State Hermitage Museum. Its rich history adds another layer of intrigue to an already awe-inspiring piece. "The Virgin and Child with SS Dominic and Thomas Aquinas" serves as a testament to Fra Angelico's exceptional talent as well as his deep devotion to religious subjects. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate this magnificent work from Italian Renaissance art history.
