EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "SAINT CHRISTOPHER. Early Christian martyr". The image depicts St. Christopher, an iconic figure in early Christianity, carrying the Christ child on his back. Created as a pen-and-ink drawing in the late 12th century English psalter, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of devotion and faith. St. Christopher is depicted with a striking beard and wearing a halo atop his head, symbolizing his sainthood. The Christ child rests comfortably on his shoulder while holding onto St. Christopher's headdress for support. With a cane in hand and walking through water, this portrayal emphasizes St. Christopher's legendary story of helping travelers cross treacherous rivers. The artist skillfully conveys both strength and tenderness in this portrait, showcasing the bond between St. Christopher and Jesus during their encounter along their journey together. This print not only serves as an exquisite decorative piece but also offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the significance of early Christian martyrs like St. Christopher who dedicated their lives to spreading love and compassion.
