EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable painting "The Virgin Protecting Siena from the Earthquake of 1466" by an anonymous Italian artist from the 15th century. The artwork, created with oil on panel, is currently housed in the Archivio di Stato in Siena, Italy. In this powerful depiction, we witness a medieval cityscape adorned with its distinctive coat of arms. The focal point of the painting is undoubtedly the Virgin Mary herself, who stands as a symbol of protection and strength. With her serene expression and outstretched arms, she shields Siena from the devastating earthquake that struck in 1466. This piece not only serves as a stunning work of art but also holds historical significance as it was originally used as a cover for an official document known as biccherna. It beautifully captures both religious devotion and civic pride within its composition. "The Virgin Protecting Siena from the Earthquake of 1466" invites viewers to contemplate themes such as faith, resilience, and divine intervention. Its intricate details and skillful brushwork transport us back to a time when art served not only aesthetic purposes but also conveyed important messages to society. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this masterpiece through their high-quality print reproduction. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this image allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its profound historical context.
