EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent artwork of St. Lawrence, to whom the Escorial monastery was dedicated. The image is a reproduction from a facsimile of the Breviary of King Philip II of Spain, dating back to 1569. Created by artists Fuente del Saz and Leon, this masterpiece is now part of a private collection. The composition depicts St. Lawrence in an awe-inspiring mannerist style, surrounded by symbolic elements that represent his martyrdom and divine connection. Kneeling on a palm-covered ground, St. Lawrence gazes upwards with reverence as he receives a vision from above. The angelic presence surrounding him adds an ethereal touch to the scene, their wings gracefully extended while columns frame them in perfect symmetry. The composite order column behind St. Lawrence symbolizes strength and resilience amidst his martyrdom. Dressed in vibrant blue robes with intricate illuminations adorning them, St. Lawrence's figure exudes grace and dignity befitting his status as a deacon and martyr. Notably present is the gridiron or grill upon which he met his tragic fate during Roman persecution for his faith—a powerful reminder of his unwavering devotion even in the face of immense suffering. This print captures every minute detail meticulously crafted on vellum parchment using exquisite techniques commonly seen during the Renaissance period. A halo encircles St. Lawrence's head, signifying his sanctity and divine connection—an inspiration for all who view this remarkable piece of artistry
