In the wake of the Black Death, Florentines turned to a new kind of holy protector: plague saints like Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch. This episode explores how the cult of these intercessors rose in the fourteenth century, focusing on the role of the confraternity of Santa Maria della Misericordia and the commissioning of altarpieces such as Giovanni del Biondo's Saint Sebastian altarpiece in the Duomo. Lucas and Luna unpack the theology of plague as divine punishment, the shift from Old Testament wrath to New Testament mercy, and how these saints became symbols of hope in a city devastated by recurring outbreaks. The episode also touches on the rivalry between the Dominican and Franciscan orders in promoting different saints, and the lasting impact on Renaissance art. Weaving together religious history, art history, and social response, this episode offers a fresh angle on how Florentines coped with a world turned upside down. #BlackDeath #Florence #PlagueSaints #SaintSebastian #SaintRoch #SantaMariaMisericordia #GiovanniDelBiondo #Duomo #RenaissanceArt #Confraternities #Dominican #Franciscan #DivinePunishment #14thCentury #Italy #History #FexingoHistory #MedievalReligion Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
