EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "St. Blaise" painted by Pedro Fernandez de Cordoba in 1519-21. The artwork, displayed at the Museu d Historia de la Ciutat in Girona, Spain, depicts St. Blaise, a revered figure known as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. In this oil on canvas painting, St. Blaise is portrayed with great detail and emotion. His face reflects both strength and compassion as he wears a mitre atop his head, symbolizing his role as bishop of Sebaste in Armenia. The artist skillfully captures the saint's flowing robes and intricate chasuble garment. A unique aspect of this portrayal is the presence of wool combs tearing at St. Blaise's flesh - a powerful representation of his martyrdom for his faith. Despite enduring such suffering, he remains steadfast and resolute. St. Blaise holds significant importance not only within religious contexts but also within art history due to Cordoba's exceptional talent in capturing human expression and conveying deep spiritual meaning through brushstrokes. This print allows viewers to appreciate every brushstroke and color choice made by Cordoba over five centuries ago while contemplating the profound story behind St. Blaise's life and sacrifice for his beliefs.
