EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Communion of the Apostles" a remarkable masterpiece by Fra Angelico. Created between 1451 and 1453, this tempera on panel painting measures 38.5x37 cm and is housed in the Museo di San Marco dell'Angelico in Florence, Italy. The artwork forms part of a collection known as the Armadio degli Argenti, consisting of 35 small paintings. In this particular piece, Angelico skillfully depicts the solemn moment when Jesus shares his last supper with his apostles before his crucifixion. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and spirituality that is characteristic of Renaissance art. The figures are arranged around a table covered with an immaculate white cloth, symbolizing purity and divinity. Each apostle's expression reflects their individual emotions - from awe to contemplation to sorrow. Angelico's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the delicate folds of clothing to the intricate patterns on each disciple's robe. The artist masterfully uses light and shadow to create depth and realism within the scene. This print allows us to appreciate not only Angelico's artistic genius but also provides us with a glimpse into religious devotion during the Renaissance period. It serves as a timeless reminder of faith, unity, and sacrifice – themes that continue to resonate with viewers today.
