EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painted ceiling of the vault in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, located within the Abbey of Santa Giustina in Padua, Italy. Created by Sebastiano Ricci during the 17th-18th century, this stunning fresco depicts an extraordinary scene titled "God among angels and apostles". The Baroque style is evident through its dramatic use of light and shadow. The inscription on the vault reads "Apostles in adoration of the Eucharist and Trinity" emphasizing its religious significance. One remarkable feature is that the vault takes light from a concealed opening behind one of the figures, creating a mesmerizing scenographic effect. This illusionary technique known as trompe l'oeil adds depth and perspective to this masterpiece. As we gaze at this image, we are transported into a world where angels and apostles gather in reverence before God. The intricate details portray each figure with precision, capturing their devotion and awe-inspiring presence. The vibrant colors used by Ricci bring life to every brushstroke, enhancing our connection to these biblical characters. The domed structure further enhances our viewing experience as we look up from below. We can almost feel ourselves immersed within this divine realm as if standing alongside disciples witnessing this heavenly spectacle firsthand. This print serves as a testament to both Ricci's artistic talent and his ability to convey profound spiritual themes through his work. It invites us to explore not only Italian art history but also ignites contemplation about faith, religion, and humanity's relationship with divinity itself.
