EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography captures an old custom celebrated in the picturesque region of Brittany: the blessing of the Terre Neuvas. Created by an unknown artist in the late 19th century, this print showcases a vibrant scene filled with cultural significance and religious fervor. In this image, we are transported to a bustling harbor where a traditional Breton boat is adorned with colorful flags and banners. The local community has gathered to witness and partake in this age-old tradition that holds deep meaning for both Christians and seafarers alike. The ceremony is led by members of a Benedictine religious order, who bestow their blessings upon the brave men preparing to set sail towards Canada's Terre Neuve (Newfoundland). As they embark on their treacherous journey across the Atlantic Ocean, these fishermen seek divine protection for safe passage and bountiful catches. The print beautifully captures not only the maritime heritage of Brittany but also its strong ties to Christianity. It serves as a testament to how religion intertwines with regional customs, creating unique celebrations that have been passed down through generations. This remarkable piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection offers us a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time when faith, tradition, and community converged at sea. It reminds us of the rich tapestry woven by different cultures around the world and invites us to appreciate our shared human experiences across continents.
