EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of "St. Mark" painted by Bartolomeo, Fra (Baccio della Porta) in 1516. The oil on panel masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Galleria Palatina & Appartamenti Reali di Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. Commissioned specifically for the door of the choir in San Marco, Florence, this painting captures St. Mark's essence as a saint and disciple. With his distinguished moustache and beard framing his face, he sits majestically within a niche surrounded by fictive architecture. The attention to detail is astounding; every stroke of the brush brings out St. Mark's authorial presence as he holds a book and quill - symbols of his role as a writer of gospel texts. The trompe l'oeil technique employed creates an illusionary architectural setting that adds depth to the portrait. As one of the four evangelists, St. Mark played a significant role in spreading Christianity through his writings about Jesus Christ's life and teachings. This Renaissance masterpiece pays homage to him with its meticulous portrayal and artistic finesse. Captured beautifully by Nicolo Orsi Battaglini's lens, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and admire this timeless piece without any copyright restrictions hindering its dissemination. It serves as a testament to both Bartolomeo's skillful craftsmanship and St. Mark's enduring legacy within religious iconography.
