EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable fresco painting of "St Sixtus II and his Deacon St Laurence" by the renowned artist Fra Angelico. Created in the mid-15th century, this masterpiece captures a significant moment in history. St Sixtus II, who was elected Pope in 257 AD, met a tragic fate as he became a martyr under Valerian's persecution just one year later. The painting also features St Laurence, an esteemed saint and martyr who served as the Deacon of the Christian church in Rome during that time. In another cruel twist of fate, he too was condemned to death by being broiled alive during Valerian's persecution. Displayed within the Chapel of Nicholas V at Vatican City in Rome, this fresco serves as a testament to their unwavering faith amidst immense adversity. The vibrant colors and intricate details transport viewers back to medieval times when religious devotion played a central role in society. Fra Angelico's skillful brushwork brings these revered figures to life, capturing their solemn expressions and devout kneeling postures. This artwork not only celebrates their individual sacrifices but also pays homage to their enduring legacy within Christianity. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the profound impact these men had on Roman Catholicism and how they continue to inspire believers around the world today.
