EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment from the "Life of St. Francesca Romana: On her return from St Pauls Basilica". Painted by Antoniazzo Romano in 1468, this fresco depicts the saint's extraordinary experience on June 28,1438. As St. Francesca Romana made her way back from the Basilica of St. Paul, she suddenly fell into a state of ecstasy and found herself floating above a stream. Astonishingly, when she rose up, her clothes remained perfectly dry despite being immersed in water. The artist beautifully portrays this miraculous event with vibrant colors and intricate details. The saint is surrounded by an aureole as she kneels in prayer while suspended above the flowing river below. Her expression exudes both awe and serenity, capturing the profound spiritual connection she experienced during this transcendent moment. Located at the Monastery of Tor de Specchi in Rome, Italy, this fresco holds great religious significance for those who follow the life and teachings of St. Francesca Romana. It serves as a reminder of her unwavering faith and devotion to God. Through this artwork, we are invited to witness an extraordinary occurrence that defies natural laws and reaffirms our belief in miracles. The painting not only showcases Antoniazzo Romano's artistic talent but also immortalizes a significant episode from the life of one of Italy's revered saints.
