EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of awe-inspiring wonder from the triptych "History of Hermit of St. Augustine" by Simone Martini. The focal point is the miraculous scene where a knight, against all odds, survives a treacherous fall from a cliff. Painted with exquisite detail and skillful use of tempera on wood, Martini brings this extraordinary event to life. The image showcases the knight suspended mid-air, his horse rearing in panic as they both teeter on the edge of disaster. With bated breath, we witness the sheer determination and strength that keeps them alive amidst such perilous circumstances. The composition beautifully juxtaposes the vulnerability of man and beast against the rugged backdrop of mountains and rocky terrain. It serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, hope can prevail. Luisa Ricciarini's expert capture allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and nuance in this remarkable artwork housed at Pinacoteca Nazionale in Siena, Italy. Through her lens, we are transported back to 14th-century medieval times when miracles were believed to be possible. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but marvel at both human resilience and divine intervention. It is an ode to faith and an invitation for contemplation – reminding us that sometimes miracles do happen when least expected.
