EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Saint Justina of Padua" created by Bartolomeo Montagna in the 1490s. The altarpiece, painted with vibrant oil colors on wood, depicts a remarkable female figure from the fifteenth century. Saint Justina is portrayed wearing an elegant dress adorned with intricate jewels and a stunning pearl necklace that enhances her regal appearance. Her hair is beautifully styled and decorated, complemented by a delicate headdress that adds to her heavenly aura. A halo encircles her head, symbolizing her sanctity as a martyr for Christianity. In one hand, she holds a palm branch signifying victory over death and martyrdom. The painting's composition exudes grace and strength simultaneously; it captures Saint Justina's unwavering devotion to her faith amidst the turmoil of war depicted through the presence of swords in the background. This juxtaposition creates an unusual yet compelling concept within Renaissance art. Bartolomeo Montagna's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, showcasing his mastery as an Italian artist during this period. This masterpiece now resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to inspire viewers with its beauty and historical significance. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness not only Montagna's exceptional talent but also gain insight into the religious fervor and artistic expression prevalent during the fifteenth century Italy.
