EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Trial by Fire of St. Francis before the Sultan" a remarkable work of art created by Fra Angelico in the late 15th century. The painting, executed using tempera on poplar wood, measures 27.8x31.4 cm and is currently housed at the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg, Germany. In this powerful scene, we witness St. Francis undergoing a trial by fire before the Sultan's court during medieval times. The saint sits calmly on an ornate throne while flames engulf his body, symbolizing his unwavering faith and devotion to God even in the face of danger. Surrounded by courtiers and male figures dressed in Renaissance attire, the Sultan himself presides over this extraordinary spectacle from an elevated position. This depiction highlights not only St. Francis' courage but also serves as a testament to his influence and impact during his lifetime. Fra Angelico's masterful brushwork brings life to every detail within this composition, capturing both the intensity of the flames and serenity on St. Francis' face with equal precision. "The Trial by Fire of St. Francis before the Sultan" is a significant piece that exemplifies religious themes prevalent during its time while showcasing Fra Angelico's exceptional talent as an artist.
