EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the incredible painting "The miracle of St Hugh in the refectory of the Monastery of the Carthusians" by Francisco de Zurbaran. The artwork, created in 1630, is housed in the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville, Spain. In this detailed section of the painting, we witness Saint Hugh of Grenoble or Hugh of Chateauneuf performing a miraculous act within the walls of the monastery. The scene depicts Saint Hugh transforming meat into fish before a group of astonished monks seated at a long table covered with a pristine white tablecloth. The composition beautifully showcases Zurbaran's mastery as he skillfully portrays each element with precision and depth. The vibrant colors bring life to every brushstroke, while capturing both religious devotion and human emotion. This particular moment represents an important event for the Carthusian order, emphasizing their commitment to abstinence from meat during meals. Through his divine power, Saint Hugh provides sustenance that adheres to their strict dietary rules. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this significant piece from Spanish art history through her lens. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only Zurbaran's talent but also serves as a reminder of faith and spirituality that continues to inspire viewers today.
