EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the oldest known portrait of Cardinal Hugues de Provence, a prominent figure from the 14th century. Painted in 1352 by Barisino or Rabisino, Tommaso da Modena, this fresco is part of the renowned cycle "Fourteen illustrious members of the Dominican Order". Located in Sala del Capitolo dei Domenicani at Seminario Vescovile in Treviso, Italy, it offers a glimpse into the intellectual and artistic world of that era. In this remarkable artwork, Cardinal Hugues de Provence is depicted wearing lorgnons - an accessory rarely seen during that time. The lorgnons were a pair of spectacles mounted on a handle or rod which allowed individuals to read or examine objects more closely. This unique detail highlights not only his scholarly pursuits but also his desire for clarity and precision. The cardinal's posture exudes wisdom and authority as he engrosses himself in reading a book with utmost concentration. His elaborate costume signifies his high rank within the clergy while emphasizing his devotion to Christianity. The artist masterfully captures every intricate detail – from the folds of his robe to the expression on his face. Through this portrait, we are transported back to an age where art and religion intertwined seamlessly. It serves as a testament to both Cardinal Hugues de Provence's significance within Christian history and Tommaso da Modena's exceptional talent as an artist during the Renaissance period.
