EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Jacques Callot, titled "Santiago de Compostelle. ca 1650" takes us back to the religious pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela in Spain during the 17th century. The print showcases two individuals, possibly pilgrims, walking along a path with their walking sticks or canes in hand. The scene is infused with elements of Catholicism and Christian faith, evident from the believers' attire and the prominent shell symbol associated with the pilgrimage route. Their traditional costumes reflect their deep-rooted connection to their national identity as they embark on this spiritual journey. Callot's meticulous engravings beautifully capture not only the physical aspects but also convey a sense of devotion and belief that permeated such pilgrimages. The image transports us to an era where religion played a central role in people's lives and shaped their cultural practices. As we observe this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the significance of faith and its ability to bring people together across borders. This particular print serves as a testament to European unity during that time period when France and Spain shared similar religious beliefs despite being separate nations within Europe. Through this artwork, we are invited to reflect on our own journeys—both physical and spiritual—and appreciate how traditions like these continue to shape our identities today.
