EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured etching, Empress Helena, the legendary patron saint of Constantinople, is depicted performing a miraculous act of resurrection. In scene A, titled "Empress Helena raises a woman from the dead with the Holy Cross," Helena stands before a grieving crowd, her regal attire contrasting against the somber mood of the gathering. With a determined expression, she raises the Holy Cross above her head, its intricately carved crucifix at the center. As the cross touches the lifeless body of the woman lying at her feet, she is brought back to life, her eyes opening in wonder and gratitude. In scene B, titled "Empress Helena bringing the True Cross to Constantinople," Helena is shown in a triumphant procession, the Holy Cross held aloft on a golden orb, surrounded by her courtiers and the city's inhabitants. The cross, a symbol of faith and salvation, is being brought to Constantinople, the capital city of the Eastern Roman Empire, marking the beginning of a new era of religious devotion and unity. This allegorical image, drawn and etched by Thomas Fisher from his Paintings on the Walls of the Chapel of the Trinity in Stratford upon Avon in 1808, is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the belief in the miraculous. The legend of Empress Helena, who is said to have discovered the True Cross during a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the 4th century, has been passed down through the centuries, inspiring awe and reverence. This evocative print invites us to reflect on the transformative power of belief and the enduring impact of history's most enduring myths.
