EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Saint Bernard and his Sister Hombeline" is a stunning illustration from the book "Helmet & Cowl: Stories of Monastic and Military Orders" by W. M. Letts and M. F. S. Letts, published in 1913. The print showcases the renowned Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who lived during the 11th century. In this evocative image, we see Saint Bernard standing tall with his sister Hombeline by his side. Both figures are depicted in humble monastic attire, emphasizing their devotion to a life of faith and service. Despite their simple garments, there is an air of nobility surrounding them that speaks to their esteemed status within the religious community. The artist Stephen Reid has masterfully captured the essence of these two siblings through intricate details and delicate shading techniques. Their expressions convey a sense of wisdom beyond their years as they gaze into the distance with serene contemplation. Through this artwork, we glimpse into a moment frozen in time – one that encapsulates both spiritual devotion and familial bond. It serves as a reminder that even those who possess great wealth or power can find solace in humility and selflessness. This exquisite lithograph not only pays homage to Saint Bernard's significant contributions but also invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, sacrifice, and kinship – timeless values that continue to resonate today.
