EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lorenzo Lotto's masterpiece, "Saint Martin Dividing His Cloak with a Beggar". Created around 1530, this Italian (Venetian) artist beautifully captures the selfless act of Saint Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar. The artwork is executed on brown paper using a brush with gray-brown wash, enhanced by touches of white and cream-colored gouache, all delicately layered over black chalk. Measuring 31.4 x 21.7 cm (12 3/8 x 8 9/16 in. ), this print transports viewers to a moment frozen in time where compassion triumphs over material possessions. Lotto's attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow bring depth to the scene, emphasizing the contrasting emotions displayed by both figures. The image portrays Saint Martin as he gracefully divides his cloak, symbolizing charity and empathy towards those less fortunate. The beggar's expression reflects gratitude and astonishment at this unexpected act of kindness. Through this powerful composition, Lotto reminds us of the importance of generosity and compassion in our own lives. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every intricate detail from the comfort of their homes or offices. It serves as a timeless reminder that acts of kindness have no boundaries or limitations – they transcend time and culture.
