EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century print, titled "St. Dominic receiving the Rosary" transports us back in time to witness a significant moment in religious history. Created by Federico Fiori Barocci or Baroccio, this mixed media artwork measures 54x38 cm and is housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The painting depicts St. Dominic, the revered founder of the Order of Friars Preachers (Dominicans), as he receives the sacred Rosary from an angelic figure above. With his hands clasped together and eyes closed in reverence, St. Dominic stands amidst a heavenly scene enveloped by clouds and surrounded by other celestial beings. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each delicate feature brings life to this spiritual tableau. The composition beautifully captures both male and female figures representing various aspects of Christian faith: clergy members, angels, children, and even the Virgin Mary herself holding baby Jesus. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Italy's Urbino School of artistry, we are reminded of the profound significance that religion holds for humanity throughout history. This artwork serves as a powerful testament to St. Dominic's devotion and his role as a guiding light within Christianity. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, "St. Dominic receiving the Rosary" remains an enduring representation of Western religious art—an exquisite reminder of our shared spiritual heritage.
