EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from Bartolo di Fredi's fresco, "Satan Asking God to Tempt Job". Painted between 1356 and 1367, this masterpiece is housed in the Sant Agostino church in San Gimignano, Italy. The image showcases a group of musicians playing an organetto (portative organ) and a tambourine. The scene depicted here is part of the biblical story of Job, where Satan challenges God to test Job's faithfulness. In this particular moment, the focus shifts to the musicians who accompany this divine encounter with their enchanting melodies. The intricate details captured by di Fredi transport us back to the Renaissance era. The musician on the left skillfully handles the portative organ while producing harmonious notes that fill the air. On his right stands another musician passionately beating on a tambourine, adding rhythm and depth to their performance. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with music throughout history. These talented individuals bring life and emotion into an otherwise intense religious narrative. As we delve into this mesmerizing detail from di Fredi's fresco, we are transported not only through time but also across different artistic mediums.
