EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "St. Peter the Martyr" a masterpiece created by Fra Angelico, an esteemed Italian Early Renaissance painter. The artwork dates back to the 15th century and was reproduced in approximately 1909. Fra Angelico, originally known as Guido di Pietro, was not only an accomplished artist but also a Dominican friar, earning him the name "Angelic Friar". He received prestigious commissions in Florence and Rome, including work for Pope Eugene IV. The image captures St. Peter's martyrdom with great intensity and emotion. With blood visibly dripping from his wounds, St. Peter stands tall while making a powerful hand gesture that conveys both strength and devotion to his faith. This depiction exemplifies Fra Angelico's exceptional ability to convey religious themes through art. The print is part of the book "Fra Angelico - Masterpieces in Colour" by S. L Bensusan, which offers readers a glimpse into the remarkable works of this renowned artist. Published around 1909 by T. C & E. C Jack and Frederick A. Stokes Co. , this book serves as a testament to Fra Angelico's enduring legacy. As we admire this print today, we are transported back centuries ago when religious art played a significant role in inspiring devotion and contemplation among believers. It reminds us of the profound impact artists like Fra Angelico had on shaping our understanding of spirituality during the Renaissance period.
