EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in the life of St. Nicholas of Myra, as he is elected as the bishop of Myra. Painted by Ambrogio Lorenzetti around 1330, this masterpiece showcases the artist's skill and attention to detail. In this scene, we see St. Nicholas standing at an altar, surrounded by members of the clergy who have gathered for his election. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and reverence as everyone awaits the outcome of this important decision. St. Nicholas stands tall and dignified, wearing a traditional bishop's hat that symbolizes his new role within the church hierarchy. His back is straight and his expression reflects both humility and confidence. The painting beautifully depicts not only St. Nicholas' physical appearance but also his spiritual presence. The religious order can be seen prostrating themselves before him, acknowledging his authority and divine calling. Lorenzetti's use of tempera on wood brings out vibrant colors that add depth to each figure portrayed in this artwork. The intricate details on their garments showcase the artist's mastery in capturing even the smallest nuances. This print serves as a reminder of St. Nicholas' legacy as a holy Christian figure known for his generosity and compassion towards those in need - qualities that continue to inspire people today.
