EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite painting, titled "Saint Lucia (From the San Bartolomeo Polyptych)," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Italian artist Ambrogio Bergognone between 1515 and 1520. The artwork is currently housed in the esteemed Collection of the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, Italy. Saint Lucia, depicted in this painting, was a revered early Christian saint and martyr. Born in Sicily during the late third century, she was known for her exceptional beauty and unwavering faith. During the Roman Empire's persecution of Christians, Lucia was arrested and ordered to renounce her faith. She refused, leading to her brutal execution, which included the plucking out of her eyes. Bergognone's portrayal of Saint Lucia captures her serene and resolute demeanor, despite the impending persecution. The saint is shown holding a tray with three vials, symbolizing the myrrh, spices, and perfumes that were offered to her before her execution. The painting's intricate details, such as Lucia's delicate features, the rich textures of her robe, and the ornate patterns of the background, exemplify the Milanese School's distinctive Renaissance style. The Bible records Saint Lucia as one of the myrrh-bearing women who visited the tomb of Jesus after His crucifixion. This connection is often depicted in artworks, including Bergognone's "San Bartolomeo Polyptych," which also includes images of the other myrrh-bearing women, Mary Magdalene, Mary Salome, and Mary the mother of James. Bergognone's "Saint Lucia (From the San Bartolomeo Polyptych)" serves as a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring power of faith in the face of adversity. The painting's intricate details and rich symbolism continue to captivate viewers and inspire awe over five centuries after its creation.
