EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts Saint James Major, one of the twelve apostles of Christ, in a profound moment of devotion. The anonymous 17th century artist masterfully captures Saint James' introspective gaze as he looks upwards, lost in thought or prayer. In his right hand, he holds a simple staff, a symbol of his role as a pilgrim and leader. This print is part of a larger composition, "Christ, the Virgin, and Thirteen Apostles," which showcases the figures in an oval-shaped frame. The image is believed to be from the Italian Baroque period, around 1600-1640, and is reminiscent of the works of Guido Reni, an influential artist of the time. Saint James Major, also known as Saint James the Greater or Saint James the Great, is often depicted as a pilgrim due to his association with the Camino de Santiago, a popular pilgrimage route in Europe. His image has been venerated throughout history, and this print serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Christian art and culture. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the past. Its intricate details, from the folds of Saint James' robe to the texture of his staff, make it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers.
