"Saint Ignatius: A Life of Devotion and Sacrifice" In this captivating collection of images, we catch glimpses into the life and times of Saint Ignatius. The first engraving portrays him in deep prayer, his gaze directed towards the left as he holds a crucifix, a rosary, and a book - symbols of his unwavering faith and commitment to God. Created by Lucas Vorsterman in 1621, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Saint Ignatius' spiritual journey. Moving on to Montserrat, we are transported back to the ancient church and cloisters that witnessed Saint Ignatius' footsteps. This engraving takes us back in time to experience the very surroundings that shaped his path towards enlightenment. Barcelona also comes alive through an enchanting engraving from Saint Ignatius' era. We can almost imagine him walking through its streets, spreading his message of love and compassion. Carl O Bergh's sculpture brings forth St. Ignatius himself - a bulto crafted with utmost reverence. It serves as a reminder of how even after centuries have passed since his existence, Saint Ignatius continues to inspire devotion among believers. However, not all depictions are serene; one image depicts the gruesome martyrdom suffered by Saint Ignatius of Antioch at the hands of Trajan's torturers in 1525/27. This portrayal reminds us of the immense sacrifices made by early Christians for their faith. Engravings take us further into history as we explore places like Abbey St Germain-des-Pres in Paris or Cologne during St Ignatius' time – providing glimpses into religious communities that thrived during those years. The lithograph titled "Hell" adds another layer to our understanding – reminding us that amidst earthly struggles faced by St. Ignatius or any individual seeking spiritual growth there is always hope for redemption beyond worldly torment.
