EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Antonio Vivarini's masterpiece, "Saint Peter Martyr Exorcizing a Woman Possessed by a Devil" created between 1445 and 1455. The painting, displayed in the Art Institute of Chicago, takes us back to the 15th century when religious art flourished. In this dramatic scene, Saint Peter Martyr is depicted as he courageously confronts an unsettling manifestation of evil. With an aspergillum in hand, he sprinkles holy water upon a tormented woman who is possessed by a devil. The intensity of the moment is palpable through the artist's skilled use of color and composition. The image captures not only the spiritual battle between good and evil but also reflects the deeply rooted beliefs and practices within Christianity during that era. It serves as a reminder of the power of faith and exorcism in combating malevolent forces. Antonio Vivarini skillfully portrays both men and women involved in this sacred encounter. Through his meticulous brushwork, he conveys their emotions - from fear to hope - emphasizing their roles within religion. As we gaze upon this unusual artwork today, it transports us to another time and place while highlighting Italy's rich artistic heritage. This print allows us to appreciate Vivarini's talent for capturing profound moments with remarkable detail using tempera on panel technique. Whether you are drawn to religious art or fascinated by historical depictions of spirituality, this piece offers an intriguing glimpse into centuries-old beliefs about possession
