EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wood painting by Francesco di Giorgio Martini, depicting an ex voto titled "The Virgin Mary protecting the city of Siena at the time of the earthquakes of 1466-1467". Created in 1473, this artwork adorns a Biccherna, which served as the cover for the accounting register of Siena. Martini's exquisite craftsmanship is evident in this detailed portrayal. The Virgin Mary stands tall and majestic, surrounded by an aureole that radiates her divine presence. With arms outstretched and a serene expression on her face, she guards over the city with unwavering protection. The historical context behind this piece adds depth to its significance. During the tumultuous period of 1466-1467, Siena was ravaged by devastating earthquakes. This ex voto serves as a testament to faith and gratitude towards Mary for safeguarding the city during these trying times. Martini's mastery of Renaissance art shines through his use of color and composition. The intricate fortifications depicted in the background provide a glimpse into Siena's architectural beauty during the 15th century. This photograph captures not only Martini's artistic brilliance but also highlights religious devotion and resilience in times of adversity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, faith can bring solace and protection to those who believe.
