EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Saint Benedict in Prayer" by Taddeo Crivelli, an Italian artist who was active during the mid-15th century. The piece is believed to have been created around 1469 in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The painting depicts Saint Benedict, a revered figure in Catholicism known for his devotion and spirituality. In this intimate portrayal, Saint Benedict is shown deep in prayer, his hands clasped together and eyes closed in reverence. The artist's attention to detail is evident through the delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors used to bring this sacred moment to life. Crivelli employed tempera colors along with gold paint and leaf accents on parchment to add richness and depth to the composition. These materials were commonly used during that era for their luminosity and ability to create a sense of divine radiance. Measuring approximately 10.8 x 7.9 cm (4 1/4 x 3 1/8 inches), this small yet powerful artwork captures the essence of Saint Benedict's contemplative spirit. It serves as a testament not only to Crivelli's artistic skill but also as an inspiration for viewers seeking solace and connection through prayer.
