@st.sisto: Why are demons attacking this Roman governor? Fra Angelico’s extraordinary Renaissance painting illustrates a dramatic episode from the lives of Saints Cosmas and Damian. After witnessing a miracle, the governor Lysias mistakes God’s power for sorcery and is immediately confronted by demons. Yet the story ends not with vengeance, but with forgiveness, as the saints pray for their persecutor’s deliverance. A powerful reminder that pride can blind us to truth, while mercy can transform even our enemies. #CatholicArt #FraAngelico #ChristianArt #RenaissanceArt #ArtHistory
