EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable colour engraving of St. Apollonia, created by the renowned artist Guido Reni in the 16th century. The image depicts a female saint known for her martyrdom and dedication to dentistry, making her the patron saint of dentists. St. Apollonia's story is both inspiring and harrowing, as she had her teeth forcibly pulled out due to her unwavering faith during times of religious persecution. The dedication of this exquisite print is made to Duc d'Orleans, adding an intriguing historical context to its significance. The fine details captured in this engraving beautifully highlight the delicate features of St. Apollonia's face and emphasize the pincers used during her agonizing ordeal. Displayed against a backdrop that exudes elegance and sophistication, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience in the face of adversity. It symbolizes not only St. Apollonia's unwavering devotion but also pays homage to all those who have dedicated their lives to dentistry. Preserved within eArchives Charmet and now available through Bridgeman Images, this Italian masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical importance. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print, we are reminded of the enduring power art holds in preserving stories that resonate across generations.
