EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Bust of a cleric" created by Fra Angelico in approximately 1450. The photograph, taken in 1943, beautifully captures the intricate details of this remarkable artwork. The bust depicts the head of a man, possibly St Lawrence, with an expression that exudes both wisdom and serenity. The delicate lines and shading bring out every contour of his face, highlighting the artist's exceptional skill in capturing human emotion. Fra Angelico was renowned for his religious art during the Renaissance period, and this drawing is a testament to his mastery. The use of metalpoint adds depth and texture to the piece while maintaining its monochrome elegance. Displayed within a book titled "Europaische Handzeichnungen" published by Bernhard Degenhart in 1943, this image serves as a window into both medieval times and twentieth-century appreciation for historical artistry. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait, we are transported back through time to an era where faith played an integral role in society. This artwork not only honors St Lawrence but also pays homage to Fra Angelico's contribution to Christian iconography. With its timeless beauty preserved through photography, this print allows us to appreciate the rich history behind it while marveling at Fra Angelico's extraordinary talent as an artist.
