Saint Dominic resurrects young Napoleon Orsini - Bernardo Daddi
The resurrection under a golden sky: the pictorial emotion of Saint Dominic bringing the young Napoleon Orsini back to life
This art print of Saint Dominic bringing the young Napoleon Orsini back to life reproduces the thoughtful composition and warm palette of the original: gold backgrounds, deep skies, and ochre reds framing the figures. The central scene, dominated by the solemn posture of the saint and the young Napoleon restored to life, highlights the carefully rendered folds of clothing and expressive gestures, while the light delicately emphasizes the faces. The technique, inspired by Byzantine enamels and Florentine sensitivity, creates an atmosphere that is both sacred and intimate, inviting the viewer to linger on each narrative detail.
Bernardo Daddi, master of Florentine Gothic and heir of Giotto
Bernardo Daddi, a Florentine painter active in the first third of the 14th century, is recognized for extending and adapting Giotto's legacy towards greater ornamental finesse. Working mainly for religious commissions, he introduced narrative elegance and humanized expressiveness into his panels and altarpieces. His major works show particular attention to figures, drapery, and gilded ornamentation, which has a lasting influence on Florentine religious art. The art print of this scene allows one to appreciate Daddi's impact on the transition between Gothic and the early Renaissance in Italy.
