Art For Thought

Amidst the Global Pandemic of COVID-19, or rather coronavirus – I was thinking of art and pandemics. And the first thing that came to mind was Anthony Van Dyck – who in 1624 found himself in Palermo, Sicily. Just a few days before the plague hit the city, he moved there from Genoa. Amidst the death and disease, Van Dyck created art. In fact, he created one of the most iconic paintings of that time.

Namely, Saint Rosalie Interceding for the Plague-Stricken of Palermo, 1624 .
