EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite artwork titled "Saints Cosmas and Damian Healing Justin" by Fra Angelico and Zanobi di Benedetto Strozzi. Painted in 1445, this oil and tempera on panel masterpiece measures 19.7x22.2 cm and is currently housed at Kunsthaus in Zurich, Switzerland. The painting depicts the legendary twin brothers, Saints Cosmas and Damian, who dedicated their lives to medicine and surgery. In this particular scene, they are shown healing a man named Justin who suffered from a diseased leg. The miraculous twist unfolds as the saints replace his afflicted limb with that of a recently deceased black man. As the patient awakens from a deep slumber, he discovers an astonishing transformation - one leg white as snow while the other bears the color of ebony. This striking visual representation symbolizes both divine intervention and the power of medical advancements during Renaissance times. The composition showcases an intimate bedroom setting where physicians carry out this groundbreaking surgical procedure with utmost care. The bed becomes not only a place for rest but also serves as an operating table where life-changing operations take place. Through this remarkable artwork, we witness how art intertwines with history to narrate stories of faith, healing, and human resilience. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with medicine's evolution throughout centuries past.
