EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite illuminated letter of St. Thomas Aquinas from the Antiphonary 558, created by the renowned artist Fra Angelico for the Monastery of San Domenico in Florence. Now housed in the Monastery of San Marco, this masterpiece showcases the talent and skill of Beato Angelico, also known as fra' Giovanni da Fiesole. Dating back to around 1430, this artwork represents a significant period in history - the Early Renaissance. It exemplifies not only the artistic style prevalent during that time but also reflects elements of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque periods. The photograph itself was taken in 1979, providing us with a glimpse into an era long gone while preserving its beauty for generations to come. The image portrays St. Thomas Aquinas as an illuminated letter within a larger musical score or document, symbolizing his importance within Christian religion and theology. The intricate details are awe-inspiring; every stroke meticulously crafted by Beato Angelico's skilled hand. Surrounding St. Thomas Aquinas is an acanthus plant, adding a touch of natural elegance to this religious depiction. As we admire this stunning piece of art captured through Alinari Fratelli's lens, we are transported back to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. , where such masterpieces were revered and cherished. This print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history - it reminds us that even centuries later, these works continue to inspire awe and wonderment among those who have had the privilege to witness them firsthand or through photographs like this one.
