EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography from the late 19th century depicts a significant moment in history - the Council of Reims in 1148. At its center stands Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, a revered figure known for his piety and influence during the Middle Ages. In this scene, he accuses Gilbert de la Porree, the bishop of Poitiers, of heresy. The artist's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to this historical event. The rich hues highlight the solemnity and gravity surrounding Saint Bernard's accusation. His aureole shines brilliantly above him, symbolizing his holiness and divine connection. The composition is filled with various clergy members representing different facets of French Christendom. Their presence emphasizes the significance and impact that religious figures held during this era. It also serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined religion was with political power at that time. This print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Christian history - one where accusations were made against those who deviated from established doctrine. It invites contemplation on themes such as faith, religious order, and the complexities within Catholicism. As we observe this artwork today, it serves as both a testament to our past and a reminder to reflect upon our own beliefs and values. The Council of Reims remains an enduring symbol of religious authority and its role in shaping society throughout centuries gone by.
