EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print, titled "The Virgin Enthroned between Saints Carlo Borromeo and Ignatius of Loyola" transports us to the grandeur of 17th-century Rome. Painted by Italian artist Carlo Maratti in approximately 1685, this masterpiece is housed in the Santa Maria in Vallicella church. At the center of the composition sits the serene figure of the Virgin Mary, elegantly enthroned. She radiates divine grace as she cradles a cherubic infant Jesus on her lap. Flanking her are two revered saints: Saint Carlo Borromeo and Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Saint Carlo Borromeo, known for his pivotal role in the Counter-Reformation movement, was a cardinal archbishop who dedicated his life to reforming and strengthening Catholicism during a time of religious turmoil. On Mary's other side stands Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). This Spanish knight-turned-theologian left an indelible mark on Christianity through his teachings and missionary work. Maratti's brushwork captures not only their individual characteristics but also their shared devotion to faith. The late Baroque style adds depth and drama to this sacred scene while emphasizing its spiritual significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with religion – a powerful medium through which artists express their beliefs and inspire contemplation among viewers for centuries to come.
