EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment when Saint John the Evangelist, a prominent figure in Christianity, miraculously causes a pagan temple to collapse. Created around 1370 by artist Francescuccio Ghissi, this medieval masterpiece showcases the power of faith and divine intervention. In this vibrant painting, we see a male figure representing Saint John standing amidst the ruins of the once majestic pagan temple. The intense colors and intricate details bring to life the destruction caused by this extraordinary event. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and devastation as pillars crumble and debris fills the air. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also in its religious symbolism. It serves as a visual reminder of Christianity's triumph over paganism during an era marked by iconoclasm –the rejection or destruction of religious images– which was prevalent during that time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this iconic altarpiece is considered one of Francesco Ghissi's most notable works. Its gold ground adds an ethereal glow to the scene while emphasizing its sacred nature. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece, let your imagination transport you back to 14th-century Europe where miracles were believed to be possible and faith held immense power. Experience firsthand how art can capture historical moments with such intensity that they continue to inspire awe centuries later.
