EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Pieta with two cherubim" created by Santi di Tito in 1576. The artwork, currently housed in the Collection of Museo Civico, Sansepolcro, transports viewers to a realm of profound Christian mythology and Renaissance artistry. The painting depicts the heart-wrenching scene of Mary cradling the lifeless body of Christ after his crucifixion. Two cherubim hover above them, their many eyes symbolizing divine omniscience and heavenly presence. Santi di Tito's mastery lies in his ability to convey deep compassion through intricate brushwork and delicate use of color. As part of the Florentine school, this piece exemplifies Mannerism—a style characterized by elongated figures and exaggerated emotional expressions. Through this lens, we witness Mary's sorrow as she mourns her son's untimely death—an image that has resonated with audiences for centuries. The artist skillfully combines elements from both Old Testament prophecies and New Testament narratives to create a powerful visual narrative. This fusion highlights not only Christ's sacrifice but also Mary's role as Mater Dolorosa (Our Lady of Sorrows), emphasizing her pivotal place within Christian iconography. Rendered using oil on wood technique, this pieta exudes a timeless beauty that continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. It serves as a testament to Santi di Tito's artistic prowess and his ability to evoke profound emotions through paintbrush strokes
