EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Infant Christ" by Fra Angelico, a renowned Italian Early Renaissance painter. Created in the 15th century and reproduced in the early 20th century, this artwork beautifully captures the innocence and divinity of Jesus as an infant. Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro, was not only an artist but also a Dominican friar. His name itself means "Angelic Friar" reflecting his deep devotion to spirituality. He received prestigious commissions from Florence and even worked for Pope Eugene IV in Rome. In this painting, we see the young Jesus adorned with a halo, symbolizing his divine nature. The soft colors used by Fra Angelico bring out the tender beauty of the child's face and emphasize his purity. This portrayal evokes a sense of awe and reverence for our savior. "The Infant Christ" is just one example of Fra Angelico's mastery in capturing religious themes during the Renaissance period. It serves as a reminder of both his artistic skill and spiritual dedication. This print allows us to appreciate Fra Angelico's work even today, bridging the gap between centuries while preserving its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when art was not only aesthetically pleasing but also deeply meaningful – reminding us of our connection to faith and history.
