EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph depicts a heartwarming scene of a flock of migrating swallows being saved from an unexpected snowstorm by the compassionate monks of the Monastery of St Bernard in the majestic Alps. The image, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, showcases the incredible bond between humans and nature. In this stunning print, we witness the remarkable rescue effort as these selfless monks open their windows to provide shelter for these vulnerable birds. Surprised by a sudden onslaught of snow during their journey across the Alps, this considerable flock finds solace and safety within the monastery's walls. The illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on October 19,1913, capturing hearts with its tale of compassion and cooperation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst harsh weather conditions and challenging circumstances, acts of kindness can make all the difference. The harmonious blend of vibrant colors brings life to this extraordinary moment where man and bird unite against nature's fury. This artwork not only celebrates Christian values but also highlights our responsibility to protect and assist those who depend on us for survival. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that sometimes it is through simple gestures that great deeds are accomplished – reminding us all to lend a helping hand when needed most.
