EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in the life of a man during his illness. In the center, we see him lying in bed, weakened by his affliction. The image is filled with an air of vulnerability and fragility as he battles against his sickness. At the left side of the frame, we witness a transformative scene. The same man is depicted fervently praying to the Madonna of the Arch, seeking her divine intervention and grace for his recovery. This act of faith and devotion showcases the deep spirituality that permeated society during this period. The ex-voto itself was created in 1603 by an unknown Italian artist from the 17th century. It was housed within the Sanctuary of Madonna dell'Arco in Naples, Italy, serving as a testament to both religious belief and gratitude for answered prayers. The composition beautifully combines elements from late Renaissance and Baroque styles, highlighting intricate details such as furniture and furnishings that were common during this era. The inclusion of Jesus Christ as a child further emphasizes themes of faith and salvation. Through this photograph taken by Luciano Pedicini for Alinari Archives, Florence, we are transported back in time to witness not only an individual's struggle with illness but also their unwavering trust in divine intervention. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity, hope can be found through prayer and devotion to one's beliefs.
