EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Initials and the conversion of Saint Paul" by Antonio Pisanello. Created between 1440-50, this tempera, gold and silver leaf masterpiece is a testament to the skill and talent of the Italian Renaissance period. Measuring at 14.1x8.9 cm, this single leaf from a gradual (music for Mass) transports us back in time to witness an important biblical event - Saul's conversion to Christianity. The intricate details depict Roman soldier Saul kneeling before a divine light, symbolizing his transformation into one of Christianity's most influential figures, Saint Paul. Above him stands another soldier, possibly the patron, adorned in Gonzaga and Este family colors. This inclusion adds depth and personal significance to the artwork while highlighting its connection to powerful families during that era. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in every brushstroke brings life to this religious scene on parchment. The use of ink enhances each delicate line, creating a harmonious balance with vibrant tempera colors and shimmering gold and silver leaf accents. Housed in J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this remarkable piece has been attributed not only to Pisanello but also to the Master of Antiphonal Q of San Giorgio Maggiore from around 1440-70.
