EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PYLE: SAINT CHRISTOPHER. The Poor Man and Saint Christopher" showcases an exquisite engraving by the talented American artist, Howard Pyle. Created in 1886, this late 19th-century masterpiece was specifically designed to illustrate Pyle's renowned short story, "How the Good Gifts Were Used By Two". The image depicts Saint Christopher, adorned in a magnificent robe and haloed with divine light, standing beside a humble poor man. With great attention to detail, Pyle captures the essence of compassion and selflessness as these two figures interact. Saint Christopher is portrayed as a towering figure emanating strength and kindness. His benevolent gaze reflects his dedication to helping others on their journey through life. In contrast, the poor man stands before him with gratitude etched upon his face – a poignant reminder of how even those who possess little can find solace in acts of charity. Through this enchanting engraving, Pyle invites viewers to reflect upon the power of empathy and generosity within society. It serves as a timeless reminder that true wealth lies not in material possessions but rather in our ability to extend love and support towards one another. This remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand encapsulates both the artistic brilliance of Howard Pyle and the profound message conveyed through his work – reminding us all that it is through acts of kindness that we become true saints ourselves.
