The Dominican Church is a treasure trove of religious art, housing an impressive collection that spans centuries. From the stunning St Peter of Verona painting, created around 1646-1647, to the captivating depiction of St. Rose of Lima, each artwork tells its own story. One cannot miss the exquisite tempera on panel piece showcasing Saint Dominic from approximately 1480. Its intricate details and vibrant colors transport viewers back in time. Similarly, The Martyrdom of St Peter from Verona, painted between 1619-1621, captures a moment frozen in history with its powerful oil on canvas composition. The Altarpiece of St Vincent Ferrer takes us even further back to the late 14th century when it was crafted using a combination of oil and tempera on woodboard. This masterpiece serves as a testament to the skill and dedication of artists during this period. Moving forward in time, we encounter The Execution of Savonarola in the Piazza della Signoria—a dramatic scene depicted through paintbrush strokes that evoke strong emotions within observers. Meanwhile, A Dominican Preaching transports us to around 1470 with its detailed tempera on poplar panel representation. Not limited to paintings alone, terracotta finds its place among these remarkable artworks with Saint Albert the Great's sculpture dating back to c. 1493—an exceptional example displaying both craftsmanship and devotion. Lastly but not leastly is Jacques Clement's lithograph depicting his infamous act as he became King Henry III's killer in France during 1825—a chilling reminder that history can be both fascinating and haunting. Stepping into the Dominican Church means immersing oneself in a world where faith intertwines with artistic expression across various mediums—oil on canvas masterpieces like Madonna and Child with Saints or lithographs portraying historical events such as The Assassination of Governor Bustamante offer glimpses into different eras while celebrating human creativity at its finest.
