EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Saint Apollonia" a masterpiece created by the renowned artist Piero della Francesca in the 15th century. The painting, attributed to him, is believed to have been completed between 1455 and 1460. In this artwork, Saint Apollonia takes center stage as she holds a pair of dental forceps, an unusual attribute for a saintly figure. Her serene expression contrasts with the tools in her hands, creating an intriguing juxtaposition that sparks curiosity and contemplation. Piero della Francesca's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this old master painting. The vibrant colors and delicate use of gold leaf contribute to its timeless beauty. Through tempera on poplar panel technique, he brings forth not only the physicality of Saint Apollonia but also her spiritual significance as the patron saint of dentistry. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork represents Italy's rich artistic heritage from the fifteenth century. It serves as a testament to Piero della Francesca's mastery and his ability to infuse religious themes with humor and wit. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, contemplating both our own mortality and the enduring power of art throughout history. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us into a world where faith intersects with everyday life – even through unexpected means like dental tools held by saints.
