EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section from the first panel of "Scenes from the Life of Christ, the Circumcision" painted by Fra Angelico in 1451-53. The tempera on wood masterpiece measures 38.5 x 37 cm and is currently housed at the Museo di San Marco dell'Angelico in Florence, Italy. The image captures a significant moment in Jesus' life - his circumcision as an infant. In this intricate detail, we see a tender scene where baby Jesus lies naked on a clothed table while two figures perform the sacred ritual. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life every delicate feature of this religious event. It is worth noting that Fra Angelico was commissioned to create this magnificent painted cabinet to safeguard valuable silver votive offerings at Santissima Annunziata, one of Florence's most revered churches. This particular panel represents just one part of an extensive series depicting various episodes from Christ's life. The painting belongs to the Florentine school and exemplifies the artistic style prevalent during the 15th century in Italy. Its inclusion within church doors highlights its intended purpose as an ex-voto or offering dedicated to religious devotion. Through this remarkable photo print, viewers can appreciate both the technical mastery and spiritual significance embodied within Fra Angelico's work. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's greatest painters and offers us a glimpse into Renaissance artistry intertwined with faith and devotion.
