EDITORS COMMENTS
by Veronica Stern captures a poignant moment in religious history with its exquisite oil painting on vellum. The artwork, created in the 18th century, showcases the immense talent and skill of Italian artist Giovanni Battista Gaulli Baciccio. In this masterpiece, we witness the heavenly departure of St. Francis Xavier, a renowned missionary and saint. Surrounded by angelic cherubs and amorini, his deathbed is adorned with crosses symbolizing his unwavering faith in Christianity. Veronica Stern's attention to detail is evident as she portrays the ethereal beauty of heaven through billowing clouds that envelop the scene. The colors used evoke a sense of tranquility and spiritual enlightenment. The composition not only pays homage to St. Francis Xavier but also highlights his significant role as a missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christian teachings across different countries. This remarkable piece can be found at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery where it stands as an embodiment of religious devotion and artistic mastery from centuries past. Veronica Stern's "The Death of St. Francis Xavier" serves as a testament to both historical heritage and artistic excellence, inviting viewers into a world where spirituality meets creativity in perfect harmony
