EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from Italian history and religious folklore. The fresco, titled "Saint Placidus saved from the lake by Saint Maurus on the orders of Saint Benedict" is an exquisite example of 15th-century Italian artistry. In this scene, we witness Saint Placidus falling into a treacherous lake, his life hanging in the balance. However, through divine intervention and obedience to Saint Benedict's commands, Saint Maurus swoops down like an angelic figure to rescue him from certain drowning. The painting beautifully depicts the dramatic tension between life and death as well as the unwavering faith that guides these holy figures. The Monastero di San Benedetto (Santuario Sacro Spero) in Subiaco, Rome serves as a fitting backdrop for this masterpiece.
