Painting Description
"The Miracle of the Glass of Poisoned Wine" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Bartolomeo di Giovanni, also known as Bartolomeo di Bartolo. This work of art, dating from the late 15th century, is a depiction of a legendary miracle associated with Saint John the Evangelist. According to the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies by Jacobus de Voragine, Saint John was once challenged to drink a cup of poisoned wine by a pagan priest. The saint accepted the challenge and blessed the cup, causing the poison to emerge in the form of a serpent, thus demonstrating the power of faith and the protection of the divine.
Bartolomeo di Giovanni was an apprentice of Domenico Ghirlandaio and is known for his contributions to the frescoes in the Tornabuoni Chapel in Florence. His work is characterized by its vivid detail and the use of bright colors, which were typical of the Florentine school of painting during the Renaissance. "The Miracle of the Glass of Poisoned Wine" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing the artist's skill in narrative representation and his ability to infuse his subjects with emotion and drama.
The painting is executed in tempera on panel, a common medium during the Renaissance before the widespread adoption of oil painting. It features Saint John at the center of the composition, surrounded by onlookers who express various reactions to the unfolding miracle. The saint's serene demeanor contrasts with the agitation of the crowd, highlighting the theme of divine intervention and the triumph of faith over malice.
"The Miracle of the Glass of Poisoned Wine" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the religious and cultural values of the time. It serves as an example of the way Renaissance artists used religious narratives to explore human emotion and divine mysteries. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is considered an important piece within Bartolomeo di Giovanni's oeuvre.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location of the painting or its history of ownership and exhibition may not be well-documented, which is not uncommon for works from this period. However, the painting's attribution to Bartolomeo di Giovanni is generally accepted based on stylistic analysis and historical records of the artist's work.
