EDITORS COMMENTS
Alessandro Turchi's Vision of Saint Catherine of Siena (n.d.) is a captivating Baroque era pen and ink drawing on ivory laid paper, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The image depicts the Italian saint, Catherine Benincasa of Siena, in a deeply contemplative and otherworldly state, with her eyes closed and her hands raised in prayer. Surrounding her are swirling clouds and a group of men, possibly angels or saints, gazing down upon her in admiration. The drawing is executed with expert precision and detail, using pen and brown ink with brush and brown wash. Catherine of Siena, born in 1347, was a Dominican tertiary and a prominent figure in the Catholic Church during the late Middle Ages. She was known for her mystical experiences, including visions and stigmata, and was a prominent advocate for church reform. In this drawing, Turchi captures the intensity and devotion of Catherine's spiritual life, as well as her connection to the divine. The drawing is reminiscent of the works of other Baroque artists, such as Lorenzo Lorraino, who also explored the theme of the mystic in prayer. The use of black and white, with the contrasting textures of the ink and wash, adds to the drawing's dramatic and otherworldly effect. Overall, Alessandro Turchi's Vision of Saint Catherine of Siena is a powerful and evocative work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers today.
