The Miracle of the Desecrated Host,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating masterpiece painted by Paolo Uccello between 1465 and 1469, is a renowned work of art housed in the Galleria nazionale delle Marche in Urbino, Italy. This exquisite predella panel, measuring approximately 117.5 x 178 cm, is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Florentine School during the Renaissance period. Uccello, born in 1397, was a prominent painter and architect of the time, known for his innovative use of perspective and meticulous attention to detail. In this painting, he masterfully employs tempera on panel to depict a miraculous event from the biblical tale of the Profaned Host. The story goes that during a Mass, a heretic named Piero di Luca, who doubted the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, desecrated the Host. As a result, the Host began to bleed, and a miracle ensued, with the blood spreading and healing the sick. Uccello's painting vividly captures the moment, with the Host at the center, surrounded by a sea of awestruck onlookers. The artist's use of perspective is evident in the receding lines of the floor and the converging lines of the arches in the background, creating a sense of depth and space. The intricate details of the figures' faces and clothing, as well as the rich colors and textures, add to the painting's overall beauty and impact. This masterpiece, a precious addition to the collection of the Galleria nazionale delle Marche, continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its intricate details, innovative use of perspective, and the miraculous story it tells. The Miracle of the Desecrated Host stands as a testament to Uccello's artistic genius and the enduring power of Renaissance art.
