EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite painting, created by the renowned artist Cosimo Tura around 1480-1485, depicts Saints Maurelius and Paul in the company of Cardinal Bartolomeo Roverella. The scene is set against a backdrop of the New Testament, with the acts of the apostles unfolding before our eyes. In the foreground, we see Saints Maurelius of Voghenza and Paul the Apostle, both revered figures in Christianity. Maurelius, a bishop and martyr, is shown holding a model of a church, symbolizing his loyalty and dedication to the faith. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, is depicted with a Bible in hand, emphasizing his role as a teacher and interpreter of the Word of God. Cardinal Bartolomeo Roverella, a prominent figure in the Roman Church during the late 15th century, is shown in humble reverence before the saints. His presence in the painting may suggest a personal devotion to these holy men or a desire for their intercession. The painting's rich colors and intricate details are characteristic of the School of Ferrara, a artistic movement that flourished during the Italian Renaissance. The oil on wood technique used by Tura adds depth and texture to the image, making it a fine example of the artistic mastery of the period. The painting is now a cherished part of the collection at the Galleria Colonna in Rome, where it continues to inspire awe and admiration among art lovers and scholars alike.
