1274 Bonaventura Quattrocento Renaissance Stigmata Tempera 1228 Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite tempera on wood painting depicts Saint Bonaventura Berlinghieri (before 1228-1274), an Italian Franciscan friar and Doctor of the Church, renowned for his profound theological insights and spiritual writings. The image captures a pivotal moment in the saint's life when he received the stigmata, the mysterious and deeply spiritual wounds that mirrored those of Christ's crucifixion. The event occurred in 1260 during a vision in which Christ appeared to Bonaventura and imprinted the stigmata upon his body. Bonaventura's stigmatization marked a significant moment in the history of the Catholic Church, as it was one of the earliest and most widely recognized cases of stigmatization. This Quattrocento masterpiece, created during the Renaissance period, beautifully encapsulates the spiritual intensity and deep devotion that characterized the era. The intricate details, rich colors, and lifelike depiction of Saint Bonaventura's expression and posture convey the profound emotional impact of this transformative experience. The painting is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, and is an essential addition to any collection of Renaissance art. Bonaventura's legacy as a theologian, philosopher, and mystic continues to inspire and captivate scholars and art lovers alike, making this painting a must-have for those interested in the history of Christianity and the development of Western art.
