EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the late 15th century depicts Saint Valentine, a revered Christian martyr from the 3rd century. Created during a time of great turmoil and epidemic in Alsace, this artwork was part of a plague sheet that sought protection against the devastating disease. The intricate details of the woodcut showcase Saint Valentine as a symbol of hope and healing amidst an era plagued by illness and suffering. The artist skillfully portrays him as a holy figure, adorned in traditional medieval attire, exuding both strength and compassion. In this powerful image, we witness men seeking solace through prayer to Saint Valentine, beseeching his intercession to shield them from the ravages of the plague. This portrayal not only reflects their deep faith but also highlights their desperate need for divine intervention during such trying times. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring resilience in the face of adversity. It is a testament to our unwavering belief in miracles and our relentless pursuit for remedies even during periods when medicine was limited. Let us honor those who came before us by cherishing this remarkable woodcut print that encapsulates centuries-old devotion to Saint Valentine—a timeless symbol representing love, faith, and protection against life's most formidable challenges.
