EDITORS COMMENTS
This study by Lazzaro Tavarone, titled "Study for Saint James Saving an Innocent from the Flames, 1600," transports us back to 16th century Italy with its intricate details and powerful imagery. The piece showcases the artist's skillful use of pen and brown ink, brush, brown wash over black chalk on laid paper to bring to life the dramatic scene of Saint James rescuing an innocent soul from a fiery fate. Saint James, also known as Santiago Matamoros or St. James the Greater, is depicted in all his glory as he bravely intervenes to save a helpless figure from certain death. The intensity of the flames and the desperation on the faces of both figures evoke a sense of urgency and heroism that is characteristic of Christian art. Tavarone's meticulous attention to detail in capturing every fold of fabric and expression on each face adds depth and emotion to this historical depiction. This artwork serves as a reminder of faith, courage, and sacrifice - themes that have resonated throughout centuries in religious art. As we gaze upon this antique masterpiece at the Art Institute Chicago, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of Italian heritage art and its ability to transcend time and culture. It is truly a testament to Tavarone's talent as an artist and storyteller.
