EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Saint Margaret" by Sassetta, created around 1435. The painting, dating back to the fifteenth century, is a remarkable example of Italian Renaissance art and can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In this full-length portrait, Saint Margaret stands gracefully against a richly colored background adorned with gold leaf accents. Clad in flowing robes, she exudes an air of serenity and strength as she gazes confidently at the viewer. Holding a cross in one hand and standing on a dragon beneath her feet, Saint Margaret symbolizes her triumph over evil forces through her unwavering faith. Sassetta's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the delicate folds of Saint Margaret's garments to the intricate rendering of mythical creatures surrounding her. The artist expertly employs tempera on poplar panel technique to bring forth vibrant colors that enhance the overall composition. This masterpiece not only reflects religious devotion but also serves as a testament to Sassetta's artistic prowess during this era. It invites viewers into a world where mythological symbolism intertwines with Christian beliefs, offering an opportunity for contemplation and appreciation of both spiritual and artistic heritage. As we admire this stunning portrayal of Saint Margaret, let us delve into its historical significance while marveling at how it continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
