EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Apparition of the Virgin to St Bernard" by Filippo Lippi. Created in 1486, this oil on panel masterpiece resides in the Badia Fiorentina, Florence, Italy. The artwork depicts a profound moment when the Virgin Mary appears before St Bernard of Clairvaux. Lippi's meticulous brushstrokes bring to life the ethereal beauty and spiritual significance of this encounter. The radiant aureole surrounding both figures emphasizes their divine connection while highlighting the holiness within them. The Cistercian monk, St Bernard, is portrayed with awe and reverence as he gazes upon his celestial visitor. His expression reflects a mix of astonishment and deep devotion, capturing the intensity of this sacred experience. The presence of angelic beings further enhances the heavenly atmosphere depicted in this Renaissance-era artwork. Their delicate forms and serene expressions add an element of tranquility to the composition. Through her appearance to St Bernard, Mary symbolizes inspiration and guidance for those who seek solace or answers through faith. This painting serves as a visual testament to religious devotion during quattrocento Italy—a time when art played an integral role in expressing spirituality. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful capture allows us to appreciate every intricate detail that Lippi intended for his audience centuries ago. It invites viewers into a world where biblical characters come alive on canvas—where divine encounters are immortalized through paint strokes—and where art transcends time itself.
