EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Pedro Antonio Fresquis, depicting Saint Rita of Cascia. Painted in 1815 with water-based paint on wood panel, this piece measures 24.8 x 16.5 cm and is housed at The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Saint Rita of Cascia, also known as Margherita Lotti (1381-1457), was an Italian widow and Augustinian nun who is revered as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. This painting beautifully captures her essence and devotion to her faith. The image features Saint Rita wearing a black habit, holding a rosary in one hand while gazing upon a skull and the head of Christ on a cross. These symbols represent mortality and sacrifice, reminding viewers of the profound spiritual journey undertaken by this remarkable woman. Fresquis's attention to detail is evident throughout the painting; from the delicate brushstrokes that bring out every fold in Saint Rita's habit to the intricate design of the monstrance she holds. The artist's use of vibrant colors adds depth and life to this religious portrayal. This artwork reflects not only religious themes but also influences from Spanish America, Mexican folk art, and Latin American culture prevalent during that time period. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to Saint Rita's enduring legacy within Christianity. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Fresquis's skillful craftsmanship while contemplating the profound spirituality embodied by Saint Rita of Cascia.
