EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fall of Simon Magus" is a captivating print that captures the dramatic moment when Simon Magus, a self-proclaimed son of God, meets his tragic end. Created by Pompeo Batoni in the mid-18th century, this artwork depicts an important event in early Christianity. In the painting, Saints Peter and Paul are shown arriving in Rome to spread the teachings of Christ shortly after his death. Meanwhile, Simon Magus attempts to prove his divinity by flying but is thwarted by Saint Peter's prayers. As a result, the demons supporting him abandon their hold on him, leading to his fatal fall. This particular piece is either a study or copy for an enormous altarpiece commissioned for Saint Peter's Basilica at the Vatican in 1746. However, due to concerns about humidity damaging paintings within the basilica, Batoni's work was intended to be translated into a massive mosaic instead. Unfortunately, for reasons that remain unclear today, this mosaic was never created. The print showcases Batoni's mastery of oil on canvas technique and brings attention to intricate details and vibrant colors used in depicting this pivotal moment from Christian history. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art and made available through Heritage Images' collection curated by Heritage Art/Heritage Images (not affiliated with any commercial use), it allows viewers to appreciate both the artistic skill involved and the historical significance behind "The Fall of Simon Magus.
