EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Hans Memling, a renowned Netherlandish painter from the Northern Renaissance period. Titled "St. Veronica" this oil on panel masterpiece was created between 1470 and 1475 and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The painting depicts St. Veronica, a female saint revered for her act of compassion towards Jesus Christ during his crucifixion. According to Christian tradition, she offered him her veil to wipe his face as he carried the cross to Calvary. The image beautifully captures this holy moment, showcasing St. Veronica holding up the sacred relic known as the Veil of Veronica. Memling's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, with intricate textures and vibrant colors bringing life to both St. Veronica and Jesus' face imprinted on the veil. This intimate portrayal evokes a sense of reverence and spirituality that resonates with viewers. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness an iconic event from biblical history through Memling's artistic lens. It serves as a powerful reminder of faith, sacrifice, and compassion – timeless virtues that continue to inspire us today.
