EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "St. Bernard of Clairvaux carrying the instruments of the Passion" transports us to a sacred moment in history. Created by an anonymous Spanish artist in the 17th century, this masterpiece now resides in the Monasterio de Santa Maria de San Salvador in Canas, Spain. The painting depicts St. Bernard of Clairvaux, founder of the renowned Clairvaux monastery and a prominent figure in religious history. With his serene expression and humble demeanor, he carries a burden that represents immense sacrifice - the instruments of Christ's Passion. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are drawn to each meticulously painted detail: the cross symbolizing Jesus' crucifixion; nails that pierced His hands; a crown of thorns adorning His head; a lance that pierced His side; and even an ox representing strength amidst suffering. Surrounded by cherubs and putti with their innocent faces and angelic wings, St. Bernard stands as a beacon of faith amidst these powerful symbols. The composition is further enhanced by vibrant polychrome colors that bring life to every brushstroke. Through this portrait-like depiction, we witness not only St. Bernard's devotion but also his connection to divine grace as he carries these sacred objects with reverence and humility. This remarkable piece invites us into contemplation – urging us to reflect on our own spiritual journey while honoring those who have dedicated their lives to serving God's purpose throughout history.
