EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-century Italian print, titled "The Virgin and Saint Joseph with Saint Anthony of Padua Seated in the Heavens," is a testament to the profound artistic skill and devotional fervor of Pietro da Pietri. Created between 1690 and 1710, this pen and brown ink, brown and gray wash, and white opaque watercolor masterpiece showcases the artist's exceptional ability to capture the ethereal beauty and otherworldly grace of the sacred figures. At the center of the composition, the Virgin Mary, depicted as the "Stella Maris" or Star of the Sea, tenderly cradles the infant Christ, her divine son. Her beloved spouse, Saint Joseph, sits at her side, his hands folded in prayerful contemplation. Above them, Saint Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of lost causes and miracles, intercedes for the souls in purgatory. His outstretched hands release a cascade of fluid from a vase, which pours down upon a crowd of cherubic angels and amorini, symbolizing the redemptive power of prayer and the promise of eternal salvation. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, the fluidity of the watercolor washes, and the intricate details of the figures all contribute to the transcendent quality of this work. Pietro da Pietri's mastery of the medium is further evidenced by the subtle textures and the harmonious balance of the composition. This stunning print is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the boundless capacity for divine intervention.
