EDITORS COMMENTS
This fresco, titled "St. Gregory the Great, with Job at his feet" transports us back to the 13th century in Italy. Painted by an unknown Italian artist from the Roman school, this masterpiece adorns the Chapel of Saint Gregoire (Gregorio) in the Monastery of Saint Benedetto (Sacro Speco), located in Subiaco near Rome. The central figure is Pope Gregory I, also known as Gregory the Great, who lived from 540 to 604 AD. He holds a paper inscribed with Latin text that reads "Vir erat in terra Hus nomine Job" (There was a man from the land of Hus who was called Job). At his feet lies Job himself, depicted humbly and nakedly quoting "Nudus egressus sum de utero matris meae" (I came out naked from my mother's womb). The fresco showcases Byzantine influences prevalent during that era and highlights the skillful artistry of the Italian School. The colors are vibrant yet harmonious, drawing our attention to every intricate detail. As we gaze upon this print captured by photographer Luisa Ricciarini, we can't help but be captivated by its historical significance and spiritual depth. It serves as a reminder of St. Gregory's influential role within Christianity and offers contemplation on themes such as human vulnerability and divine providence. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only Ricciarini's talent for capturing fine art but also invites us into a moment frozen in time where faith meets artistic expression.
