EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Matteo di Giovanni di Bartolo, depicting Saint Nicholas of Bari. Painted with tempera on poplar wood, this masterpiece measures 43x25 cm and is currently housed in the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg, Germany. Saint Nicholas of Bari, also known as Saint Nicholas of Myra, is a beloved figure associated with generosity and gift-giving. In this painting, he stands tall and regal, adorned in his episcopal regalia. The golden ball held in his hand symbolizes wealth and prosperity while the book represents knowledge and wisdom. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail by including coins scattered at the saint's feet—a reminder of his legendary act of providing dowries for three impoverished sisters. The vibrant medieval backdrop adds depth to the composition while emphasizing Saint Nicholas' importance as a bishop. With its rich gold ground and intricate portrayal of Saint Nicholas' attributes such as his mitre (bishop's hat) and crozier (staff), this painting exudes an aura of reverence. It serves as a testament to both Matteo di Giovanni di Bartolo's artistic prowess and the enduring legacy of Santa Claus or Father Christmas. This print from Bridgeman Images captures every nuance beautifully, making it an ideal addition for art enthusiasts seeking to appreciate historical masterpieces like this one.
