Divino Rapimento di Santa Margherita da Cortona – Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Saint Margaret of Cortona's Divine Rapture – Painting by Dino Carbetta” ...
Saint Margaret of Cortona, portrayed in this evocative painting depicting her ecstasy with Christ, embodies a profound odyssey of redemption and devotion. Born into the serene landscapes of Laviano, Tuscany, Margaret's early life was marked by familial loss and discord. The passing of her mother at a tender age and the strained relationship with her stepmother set the stage for a tumultuous path ahead. In her youth, Margaret's spirited nature led her into a relationship with a young knight, ultimately resulting in her living as his mistress for nine years. Margaret's spiritual transformation was catalyzed by the tragic discovery of his lifeless body in the woods, a victim of foul play. With a heart heavy with remorse, Margaret embarked on a journey of penance and self-denial. Renouncing her former life, she sought solace and forgiveness, finding refuge with the Franciscan friars at Cortona. Margaret's deep and sincere devotion to Christ flourished amid the serene hills and age-old churches. Driven by her unwavering faith, Margaret dedicated herself to a life of prayer, penance, and service to the marginalized. Establishing a hospital and a congregation of tertiary sisters, she embodied the compassionate teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi, extending a loving hand to the sick and needy. Margaret's spiritual depth and humility drew countless souls seeking guidance and solace. Despite her struggles and past transgressions, she became a beacon of hope and forgiveness, inspiring others to seek redemption and embrace the transformative power of faith. Her legacy endured through the centuries, culminating in her canonization by Pope Benedict XIII in 1728. In this painting, Saint Margaret's ecstatic vision of our Lord encapsulates the essence of her profound journey, beckoning viewers to ponder the transformative power of grace and the enduring beauty of redemption.
