EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an anonymous painting from the mid-17th century, depicting a miracle attributed to Saint Francois Xavier during his time in Japan around 1549. The oil on canvas artwork, currently housed at the Museu de Marinha in Lisbon, Portugal, beautifully captures the essence of this miraculous event. In this scene, we witness a missionary vessel sailing through Asian waters as St. Francis Xavier performs a divine act. The painting exudes a sense of awe and wonder as it portrays the spiritual power of this Spanish holy figure amidst the Japanese landscape. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life the intricate details of both human figures and transport vehicles present on board. This masterpiece serves as a testament to not only religious devotion but also cultural exchange between Spain and Japan during that period. Leonard de Selva's expert photography perfectly captures every nuance of this historical artwork while highlighting its significance within Asian art history. Through his lens, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand the impact of St. Francis Xavier's mission and his enduring legacy. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us reflect upon the profound influence that religion and spirituality have had throughout history, transcending borders and uniting diverse cultures under one shared belief system.
