EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. Cosmas and St. Damian Saved from Drowning" by Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro or Giovanni da Fiesole. Created around 1434, this tempera on panel masterpiece measures 20 x 22 cm and is currently housed in the Museo di San Marco in Florence, Italy. The painting depicts a miraculous scene where St. Cosmas and St. Damian are saved from drowning with divine intervention. The patron saints of the Medici family are shown fervently praying amidst treacherous waves crashing against rocky cliffs. In a moment of desperation, two angels descend from above to rescue them, their wings gracefully spread as they lift the saints out of harm's way. Fra Angelico's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the intensity of emotions felt by both saints and angels alike. The Renaissance influence can be seen through his masterful use of light and shadow that adds depth to the composition. This particular print focuses on an intriguing detail within the larger Annalena altarpiece predella - a section below the main panel depicting various scenes related to St. Cosmas and St. Damian's lives. As we admire this remarkable piece, we cannot help but marvel at Fra Angelico's ability to convey faith, hope, and salvation through his artistry—a testament to his profound skill as one of Italy's most celebrated painters during this era.
