EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning painting, titled "The Transfiguration of Christ," is a masterpiece by the renowned Venetian artist, Giovanni Bellini, created around 1480. It is currently housed in the esteemed Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. The Transfiguration is a significant event in the New Testament, recounted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, where Jesus is transfigured before three of his disciples, Peter, James, and John, on a mountain. In this painting, Bellini captures the glorious mystery of Christ's transformation, as he is enveloped in a radiant light, with the figure of Moses and Elijah appearing beside him. The devoted disciples, in awe of this miraculous sight, bow their heads in faith. Mary Magdalene, Mary of Magdala, and the myrrhbearers, the three holy women, are also depicted in the painting, paying homage to the Transfigured Christ. The white angel, symbolizing the divine presence, hovers above, further emphasizing the otherworldly nature of the scene. The Transfiguration is a testament to the belief in Christ's divinity and the salvation he offers to humanity. This oil on wood painting is a beautiful example of the artistic achievements of the Renaissance period in Italy, showcasing Bellini's exceptional skill and devotion to his subject matter.
