EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene of St Macarius of Ghent providing aid to the victims of the plague. Created by Belgian painter Jacob van Oost in the 17th century, this engraving showcases his exceptional talent and skill in depicting human suffering and compassion. In this artwork, we see St Macarius amidst a backdrop of mourning and sorrow. The artist portrays the devastating effects of the plague with haunting realism - corpses lie scattered around him as grief-stricken individuals mourn their loved ones. Despite the overwhelming despair, St Macarius stands as a beacon of hope and courage, offering solace to those in need. The religious symbolism is evident throughout the image, with cherubs hovering above as symbols of divine intervention and protection. This portrayal highlights not only St Macarius' role as a priest but also his unwavering dedication to helping others during times of immense hardship. Oost's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke conveys both gratitude for life's blessings and empathy towards those who have succumbed to disease. Through this artwork, he reminds us that even in our darkest moments, acts of charity can bring light into our lives. This print serves as a poignant reminder that art has always played an essential role in capturing humanity's struggles and triumphs. It invites viewers to reflect on our shared history while appreciating the enduring power that works like these hold over time.
