EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning artwork of "Saint Catherine of Siena Exchanging Her Heart with Christ" by Giovanni di Paolo. The painting, created in 15th century Italy, is a masterpiece that beautifully captures the mystical and religious concepts of its time. In this piece, Saint Catherine of Siena, a revered nun and mystic from medieval Christianity, is depicted exchanging her heart with Jesus Christ himself. The golden color palette adds an ethereal touch to the scene as both figures are shown floating above the ground. The artist's skillful use of tempera and gold on wood brings out intricate details and creates a sense of divine radiance. This work belongs to the Sienese school artistic style which flourished during this period. As one gazes upon this extraordinary artwork, it evokes a sense of wonder and awe at the depth of faith portrayed. It serves as a reminder of Saint Catherine's devotion to her beliefs and her desire for spiritual union with Christ through what was known as bridal theology or mystical marriage. Displayed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this remarkable piece from our heritage.
