EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolitho print titled "St Gerasimus and the lion" depicts a powerful scene of compassion and harmony. Created by an unknown French School artist in the 19th century, this educational card showcases the remarkable story of St Gerasimus, a revered monk from Christianity's rich history. In this mesmerizing image, St Gerasimus is shown kneeling down before a majestic lion, his halo shining brightly above him. With gentle hands, he tenderly removes a thorn from the lion's paw, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to helping all creatures great and small. The saint's compassionate nature is beautifully captured as he demonstrates Christian values through acts of kindness towards animals. This artwork serves as a reminder that religion can inspire empathy and care for both humans and animals alike. It exemplifies how St Gerasimus' faith led him to forge an extraordinary bond with the king of beasts - an unlikely friendship built on trust and respect. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported to Monaco in France where it resides within a private collection. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on St Gerasimus' robe to the soft fur of the grateful lion lying peacefully at his feet. This exquisite piece invites us into a world where compassion knows no bounds; where even lions can be tamed by love and understanding. It reminds us that true strength lies not in dominance but in our ability to extend kindness beyond our own species.
