EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "St. James and the Magician Hermogenes, 1565" by Pieter van der Heyden takes us back to the vibrant Renaissance era. This engraving showcases the remarkable talent of both the artist and engraver Hieronymus Cock. The scene depicts Saint James, one of Jesus' apostles, engaged in a spiritual battle with the magician Hermogenes. Intriguingly composed, this artwork captures a moment filled with tension and confusion. The detailed etchings bring to life a group of people witnessing this supernatural encounter between good and evil. Van der Heyden's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to each character's expression, revealing their emotions ranging from fear to awe. This piece is not only visually stunning but also carries significant religious symbolism. It explores themes such as faith, temptation, and divine intervention within its intricate details. The print serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Flanders during that period. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this work continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. Its timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport us into an otherworldly realm where magic meets spirituality. Pieter van der Heyden's "St. James and the Magician Hermogenes" remains an enduring masterpiece that invites contemplation on matters beyond our physical world while showcasing exceptional artistic skill from two renowned masters - Pieter van der Heyden himself and his collaborator Hieronymus Cock
