EDITORS COMMENTS
The Madonna of Perpetual Help," a masterpiece by the Neapolitan artist Marco Cardisco, dating from 1538-1540, is a captivating oil on canvas painting held in the esteemed collection of the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. This exquisite work of art is a prime example of the Renaissance period's artistic brilliance and devotional depth. Cardisco, born around 1486, was a prominent figure in the School of Naples, a vibrant artistic community that flourished during the 16th century. In this painting, Cardisco skillfully depicts the Madonna and Child with two angels, their faces filled with awe and reverence. The Virgin Mary, with a humble and pensive expression, cradles the Christ Child in her arms, while one angel tenderly touches the Child's foot, and the other reaches out to support the Virgin's mantle. The New Testament does not provide an account of the Madonna of Perpetual Help, and it is believed that this title was given to the image due to its association with the Salus Populi Romani, a miraculous icon of the Madonna and Child that was believed to have protected the city of Rome from various threats throughout history. This painting is a testament to the deep faith and artistic sensibilities of the Italian Renaissance. The fine details, the delicate use of color, and the profound sense of serenity and devotion conveyed by the figures make the Madonna of Perpetual Help a cherished work of art that continues to inspire awe and wonder. Cardisco's masterpiece invites viewers to contemplate the deep connection between the Mother and Child, and to reflect on the enduring power of faith and love. The Madonna of Perpetual Help remains an enduring symbol of hope, compassion, and the boundless love of a mother for her child. This image is not to be confused with any commercial use or company bearing the same name. It is a fine art image, copyrighted by Heritage Images, and can be found in the collection of the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy.
