EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Visitation" by Mattia Preti, also known as Il Calabrese. Painted in the 17th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece can be found at Pio Monte della Misericordia in Naples, Italy. The image captures a significant biblical scene from the book of Luke - the meeting between two revered women: Virgin Mary and Saint Elizabeth. In this art piece, we witness four individuals gathered together in an intimate encounter. Saint Joseph stands alongside his wife Mary, who is pregnant with Jesus, while Saint Elizabeth welcomes them with open arms. This poignant moment symbolizes the bond between these holy figures and their shared journey towards motherhood. The painting's baroque style adds depth and drama to the composition, emphasizing each character's emotions and expressions. Through skillful brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Preti brings this biblical event to life. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art captured by Stefano Baldini's lens, we are transported back to early 17th-century Italy. The religious significance of this scene resonates deeply within us as it represents faith, family ties, and divine intervention. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic mastery of Mattia Preti and Stefano Baldini's talent for capturing fine details that allow viewers to appreciate every nuance of this historic artwork.
