EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century manuscript print showcases the legendary encounter between Saint Martha and the fearsome Monster Tarasque. The unknown artist skillfully depicts this iconic religious tale, which has been passed down through generations. In the image, we see Saint Martha standing tall and resolute, her holy presence radiating strength and courage. She confronts the monstrous Tarasque with unwavering determination, ready to vanquish evil in the name of faith. The Monster Tarasque looms menacingly in front of Saint Martha, its grotesque features embodying all that is dark and malevolent. With its sharp claws and ferocious expression, it represents a formidable challenge for any mortal soul. This artwork not only captures a moment of intense struggle but also symbolizes the eternal battle between good and evil. It serves as a reminder of humanity's constant quest for righteousness against adversity. Preserved within the Biblioteca Trivulziana in Milan, Italy, this 15th-century manuscript holds historical significance as it provides insight into medieval beliefs and storytelling traditions. Its intricate details showcase the artistic prowess of an anonymous master craftsman from centuries ago. Giancarlo Costa's photograph beautifully captures this remarkable piece of art history while honoring its cultural value by making it accessible to wider audiences today. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary clash between saintly virtue and mythical monstrosity.
