EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of "Death of Ananias" inspired by Raphael's renowned painting. Created in 1740 by Joseph Goupy, this bodycolour over graphite on parchment piece measures 30.2x45.7 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art, thanks to the Paul Mellon Fund. The image depicts a pivotal moment when Ananias collapses under the piercing gaze of Apostle Paul after making a false claim about his donation to community funds. The disciple points an accusatory finger towards Ananias, who drops dead in horror and shame. Peter stands nearby, admonishing with a stern expression while onlookers gather around in disbelief. Goupy masterfully recreates the theatrical intensity of Raphael's original painting found within Vatican walls. The guilt-ridden atmosphere is palpable as witnesses react to Ananias' deceitful actions and ultimate demise. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the consequences that come with dishonesty and betrayal. Goupy's skillful execution brings forth emotions such as shock, guilt, and shame that resonate with viewers even centuries later. This powerful composition serves as a testament to both Raphael's enduring influence on art history and Goupy's ability to capture its essence through his own artistic interpretation.
