EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Carlo Bononi showcases the stunning artwork of St Etienne, created between 1589 and 1632. The painting depicts two prominent figures from Catholicism: St Stephen I, who served as Pope from 254 to 257, and St Agatha, a revered Sicilian saint from around 250 AD. In the image, St Agatha holds a silver cup containing her severed breasts, symbolizing her martyrdom for her faith. Hovering above them is an angel bearing palm leaves typically associated with martyrs. At the bottom of the painting stands the donor of this remarkable piece of art. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this religious scene to life. Carlo Bononi's work beautifully captures both the spiritual significance and artistic mastery prevalent during Italy's sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This oil painting reflects not only Christian themes but also highlights elements of nature such as trees and plants in its composition. The print serves as a testament to Roman Catholicism's rich history while honoring these esteemed saints within their cultural context. It is an exquisite portrayal that evokes deep contemplation on faith, sacrifice, and devotion. Heritage Images presents this extraordinary piece without any commercial intent but rather seeks to celebrate artistry that transcends time through historical depictions rooted in religion and spirituality.
