EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 16th century, capturing a moment of intense action and religious fervor. The image depicts St Peter Martyr, an iconic figure from Italian history, in the midst of an ambush on a hillside. Brandishing his sword with determination, he confronts heretics known as Cathari who challenge the teachings of the Catholic Church. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this high Renaissance scene, emphasizing the dramatic nature of martyrdom. The artist Luca Bertelli skillfully captures every detail - from the intricate lettering on St Peter's robe to the lush forest surrounding him. Published in 1937 by Phaidon Press as part of their renowned collection "Titian Paintings and Drawings" this print showcases Bertelli's mastery in engraving techniques. It is introduced by Hans Tietze, providing valuable insights into Titian's work and its historical context. As we gaze at this powerful image, we are reminded of Italy's rich religious heritage and its enduring impact on art during that era. St Peter Verona stands tall as a symbol of faith amidst turmoil, inspiring us with his unwavering commitment to his beliefs. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Luca Bertelli's artistic talent while also paying homage to Titian's influence on Renaissance art. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, inviting us into a world where religion meets warfare in stunning visual harmony.
