EDITORS COMMENTS
Il Garofalo, or Benvenuto Tisi (1481-1559), was an Italian Late Renaissance-Mannerist artist from the region of Emilia-Romagna, best known for his innovative compositions and dynamic figures. This print depicts Il Garofalo himself, surrounded by figures from his renowned painting "The Vision of Saint Augustine," now housed in the National Gallery in London. Painted around 1518, this masterpiece showcases the artist's unique style, characterized by elongated, graceful figures and dramatic lighting. At the center of the painting, Saint Augustine, the Bishop of Hippo, is depicted in a contemplative pose, his eyes closed in ecstasy as he experiences a divine vision. The saint is surrounded by various figures, including Saint Catherine, who holds a palm leaf and a wheel, symbols of her martyrdom. A child and Jesus, depicted as a baby, are also present, symbolizing the innocence and purity of the faith. Il Garofalo's masterful use of color and light creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer into the scene. The artist's skillful rendering of the human form, with its elongated limbs and delicate features, is a hallmark of Mannerist style. This print offers a rare glimpse into the world of Il Garofalo and the intricate, evocative paintings that made him a leading figure of the Italian Renaissance.
