God the Father and Eleven of the Twelve Apostles
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by the Italian Baroque artist, Giovanni Marco Pitteri, dating from the 18th century. This evocative work of art depicts God the Father, seated on a cloud, surrounded by eleven of the Twelve Apostles, with St. Bartholomew absent. The image is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Baroque era, with its intricate details and dramatic use of light and shadow. The Father is shown with a flowing white beard and a serious expression, looking down upon his beloved disciples. Each apostle is depicted in profile, with distinctive facial features and individual expressions. Some are shown holding symbols associated with their sainthood, such as St. Peter with his keys and St. Andrew with his X-shaped cross. Others, like St. James the Greater, are shown with weapons, such as swords or daggers, reflecting their martyrdom. The engraving, created in black on paper, is a meticulously detailed work of art, with fine lines and delicate shading. The lettering at the bottom of the image identifies each apostle and the artist, Giambattista Piazzetta, who is believed to have been the original designer of the composition. The image has been engraved by Giovanni Marco Pitteri, adding another layer of artistic skill to the work. This powerful and moving image, with its biblical themes and intricate details, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or the Baroque era. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Whether you are a scholar, an art enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a moment of contemplation, this engraving is sure to leave a lasting impression.
