EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Blinding of Elymas (cartoon for the Sistine Chapel)" by the renowned Italian artist Raphael. Captured before its restoration, this masterpiece is housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. Commissioned by Pope Leo X, it forms part of a larger work depicting the Lives of SS Peter and Paul. In this scene, we witness a moment filled with intense emotion and astonishment. The central focus lies on Elymas, who stands stumbling and blindfolded after being struck by divine punishment for his disbelief. His face reflects horror and shock as he realizes the consequences of his actions. Raphael's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this cartoon for tapestry. The intricate details capture every nuance of surprise on St. Paul's face as he witnesses this miraculous event unfold before him. As viewers, we are drawn into this dramatic narrative that explores themes of conversion, amazement, and punishment for disbelief. The composition leaves us bamboozled by its sheer power to evoke strong emotions within us. This print not only preserves Raphael's artistic genius but also allows us to delve into the rich history behind this iconic piece from the Sistine Chapel collection.
