EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the artwork titled "SS. Cosmas and Damian Before Diocletian". Created by Fra Angelico in 1434, this predella from the Annalena Altarpiece is a testament to the artist's talent and mastery of tempera on panel. The scene depicted here takes us back to ancient times, where two saints, Cosmas and Damian, stand before Emperor Diocletian. Dressed as soldiers, they face condemnation for their unwavering faith. The Renaissance-era palace serves as an imposing backdrop, emphasizing the power dynamics at play. In this intense composition, we witness the courage and steadfastness of these revered saints who refused to renounce their beliefs despite facing persecution. Their resolute expressions convey both defiance and piety as they confront their oppressor. Fra Angelico's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; his skillful rendering brings life to each figure within this small-scale masterpiece measuring only 20x22 cm. This work can be found in the Church of San Marco in Florence, Italy—a fitting location for such a profound piece that resonates with religious symbolism. As we admire this print today, let us reflect on the timeless message it carries: the triumph of faith over adversity and the enduring legacy of these revered saints throughout history.
