EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of Saint John of Matha, the esteemed founder of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity. Adorned with a radiant halo and dressed in Crusader robes, Saint John stands tall, holding shackles that symbolize his noble mission to free Christians from captivity. Surrounding this central figure are vignettes depicting other revered saints. The first is Saint Valentine, an influential priest during the Roman Empire. Next is Saint Severin, known as the Abbot of Saint-Maurice (Agaune), followed by Saint Benedict of Aniane and finally, Saint Scholastica. Created in 19th-century Paris by Jules Desportes, a renowned professor of lithography at the Institut Royal des Sourds-Muets, this chromolithograph comes from Legende Celeste - a remarkable collection recounting the lives and legends of various saints. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these holy figures to life on paper. The image exudes an ethereal quality with its gold highlights and gilt accents that enhance each saint's divine presence. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to religious devotion. Whether you admire it for its historical significance or appreciate its spiritual symbolism, this print offers a glimpse into centuries-old religious traditions while honoring those who dedicated their lives to serving others in faith.
