EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century painting by Peter van Lint, titled "Saint Teresa of Avila meets the angel who pierces the heart of his golden darter" transports us to a moment of divine encounter. In this Flemish-style artwork, Saint Teresa, also known as Saint Therese of Avila, is depicted in her childhood years within the serene confines of a convent. Bathed in ethereal light and surrounded by an atmosphere of holiness, she stands before an angelic figure. The focal point of the painting lies in the delicate interaction between Saint Teresa and the angel. With eyes locked on each other, their connection transcends earthly realms. The angel holds a golden darter that symbolizes profound spiritual transformation - piercing through hearts and bringing forth enlightenment. Intriguingly, Saint Teresa's expression reveals both awe and vulnerability as she gazes upon this celestial being. Her religious ecstasy is palpable; it seems as if her very soul is reaching out to embrace divine grace. The artist masterfully captures this intense moment with meticulous attention to detail. As we delve into this artwork further, we are drawn to subtle elements such as a dove perched on a cloud above them – representing peace and purity – while gold accents throughout hint at heavenly glory. This painting invites contemplation on faith, devotion, and transcendence. Luisa Ricciarini's print serves as a testament to the enduring power of art across centuries; it allows us to appreciate Van Lint's
