EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print, titled "Three Lucchese Saints Sts. Nicholas Tolentino, Nicholas of Bari Interceding with the Virgin for the Victims of the Plague," is an anonymous work of art that showcases the powerful intercession of three cherubic saints on behalf of the afflicted during a time of disease and despair. The image, created between 1650 and 1700, is a testament to the enduring faith and hope of the Christian community during the devastating era of the plague. The central figures in the print are Sts. Nicholas Tolentino and Nicholas of Bari, both clad in bishop's robes and adorned with halos, who are shown interceding with the Virgin Mary, depicted as Our Lady of Refuge, to protect the people from the ravages of the disease. Surrounding the saints are cherubs, or putti, symbolizing innocence and purity, adding a sense of serenity and hope to the scene. The print, which is reminiscent of the Rococo style, is characterized by its graceful lines, delicate details, and rich use of color, even in its black-and-white form. The saints' expressions convey a deep sense of compassion and concern for the suffering population, while the Virgin Mary's gentle gaze offers solace and comfort. This print is a precious addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the religious and cultural heritage of the past. It serves as a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of faith in times of adversity. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and other esteemed galleries and art centers around the world have recognized the historical and artistic significance of this work, making it an invaluable piece of the global art community.
