EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant last conversation between two revered saints, St. Benedict and St. Scholastica, in the 15th century fresco by the Umbrian School. The scene depicts their final meeting on June 2nd, 547 AD, just days before St. Scholastica's passing. The artwork showcases a miraculous occurrence as a thunderstorm breaks out unexpectedly, compelling St. Benedict to remain with his sister throughout the night. Every detail of this fresco is meticulously painted, from the aureole surrounding both saints to the holy food set before them on crockery. In this Renaissance masterpiece, we see a glass of red wine and bread symbolizing sustenance and nourishment for body and soul during their prayerful meal together. The knife and covered dishes suggest an atmosphere of reverence and solemnity within this religious order. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful capture brings forth not only the beauty of this quattrocento painting but also its profound spiritual significance. It transports us back to a time when faith played an integral role in people's lives. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left by these biblical figures who shaped Christianity during medieval times. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Italian artistry and spirituality that continues to inspire awe even today.
