EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic image of St Veronica, dating back to the mid-15th century. According to Christian legend, Veronica had a profound encounter with Jesus on the Via Dolorosa.

The significance of this momentous event is beautifully captured in this artwork. St Veronica stands elegantly, holding up the sacred sudarium that bears Christ's miraculous imprint. Her expression reflects both awe and reverence as she presents this holy relic to Emperor Tiberius in Rome. This Flemish masterpiece by Robert Campin portrays St Veronica as a symbol of faith and devotion.
