EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable work of art called "The Seven Works of Mercy, assistance to the sick and infirm" by Santi Buglioni. Created between 1526-1528, this low Terracotta relief can be found in the Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia, Italy. In this particular detail captured by Luisa Ricciarini, we witness a scene that embodies compassion and humanity. The artist skillfully portrays individuals engaged in acts of generosity towards those suffering from illness and disability. The intricate carving on the terracotta tiles brings life to each character, evoking emotions of empathy and sympathy. The Renaissance period was known for its emphasis on virtue and equity, which is beautifully depicted through Buglioni's masterpiece. The artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of charity and care for our fellow human beings during times of misery and poverty. Within this image, we see doctors providing medical consultations while patients lie in beds adorned with exquisite furnishings. It is evident that no expense was spared when it came to ensuring comfort for those seeking treatment at the hospital. "The Seven Works of Mercy" not only showcases Buglioni's artistic talent but also highlights the significance placed on healthcare during this era. This timeless piece continues to inspire us today as we strive to uphold these virtues in our own lives.
