The Virgin Adored by Saints, ca. 1609
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting created by Scarsellino. This masterpiece showcases the heavenly scene of the Virgin Mary being revered by an array of saints. The composition is rich in symbolism and religious iconography. In this artwork, we witness Clare and Catherine of Siena kneeling in devotion before the Madonna, while Dominic holds a candle in his mouth symbolizing enlightenment. Nicholas of Tolentino stands with a sunburst on his habit, representing divine radiance. Peter Martyr appears with a knife embedded in his head as a reminder of martyrdom. The painting also features Francis preaching to birds on the shore, emphasizing his connection to nature and harmony with all living beings. Raymond of Penaforte sails across the sea with a banner serving as his sail, signifying spiritual guidance. Scarsellino's attention to detail is evident through each saint's distinctive attributes and expressions of prayerful adoration towards Mary. The use of vibrant colors adds depth and intensity to this sacred tableau. This remarkable artwork now resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire awe among visitors who appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. "The Virgin Adored by Saints" serves as both an exquisite example of Italian religious art from the seventeenth century and a testament to Scarsellino's talent for capturing profound spirituality within his paintings.
