EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Annunciation with cardinal Juan de Torquemada" by Antoniazzo Romano, dating back to approximately 1460. Located in the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, Italy, this masterpiece depicts a significant biblical scene with a unique twist. At the center of the composition stands Cardinal Juan de Torquemada, an influential figure during his time and uncle to the infamous inquisitor Tomas de Torquemada. The cardinal's presence adds a touch of worldly authority to this sacred event - the Annunciation. A young girl, believed to be Virgin Mary herself, is depicted kneeling before him as she receives news from Archangel Gabriel. The artist skillfully captures every detail: from the open book that lies before them symbolizing divine knowledge and wisdom, to the delicate lily held by Gabriel representing purity and innocence. The golden background adds an ethereal glow that enhances both spiritual and earthly elements within this extraordinary piece. Antoniazzo Romano's mastery shines through as he effortlessly combines religious symbolism with portraiture. This painting not only serves as a testament to his talent but also offers viewers a glimpse into Italian Quattrocento art during its prime. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this artwork through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of the rich history and profound meaning behind each brushstroke – a true treasure for art enthusiasts worldwide.
