EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 16th century painting depicts Saint Nicolas, a revered figure in Christianity, hailing from the ancient Greek city of Myra in present-day Turkey. The artwork, created by the Cretan School between 1500 and 1600, showcases the saint in episcopal attire, with a bishop's mitre and a golden pallium draped over his shoulders. Saint Nicolas is known for his benevolence and miracles, and this portrait captures his direct gaze and benevolent expression as he extends a blessing hand towards the viewer. The painting, executed in tempera on wood, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Cretan School, which flourished during the Venetian occupation of Crete. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the artwork, particularly the deep reds and golds, add to its visual allure and make it a standout piece in any collection. Saint Nicolas, also known as Nikolaos of Bari, Nikolaos of Myra, and Nikolaos the Wonderworker, has been venerated in both the Eastern and Western Christian traditions. Over time, his image has evolved, with some depictions portraying him as the jolly figure of Santa Claus or the Spanish El Santo. However, this painting captures the essence of the saint as a revered bishop and a symbol of generosity and goodwill. This artwork is now housed in the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris, France, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, art, or the cultural heritage of Greece and Crete.
