EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Obsequies of St Francis, 1482-1485 (1870)" captures a profound moment in history and art. Created by Franz Kellerhoven, this masterpiece is found in the collection of Santa Trinita in Florence. The print is featured in Les Chef D oeuvre de la Peinture Italienne by Paul Mantz, published in Paris in 1870. In this image, we witness the funeral rites surrounding the deathbed of St Francis of Assisi. The scene is filled with grief and sorrow as monks kneel beside their beloved founder. Domenico Ghirlandaio's skilled brushwork brings to life the emotions on each face, conveying a sense of deep sadness and mourning. The vibrant colors used by Kellerhoven enhance the somber atmosphere while paying homage to the rich tradition of Italian painting. The architectural details add depth to the composition, with towering pillars framing the scene like silent witnesses to this solemn occasion. This chromolithograph transports us back to 15th-century Florence, where religion played an integral role in society. It serves as a reminder not only of St Francis' legacy but also of Italy's artistic heritage during that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded that even amidst death and loss, there is beauty to be found – both within religious devotion and within masterpieces such as these.
