EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment captured in a Book of Hours from 1490. The image depicts St. Bernard of Menthon, a revered figure known for his incredible feats and unwavering faith. In this scene, the saint is seen triumphantly overcoming a menacing demon. Rendered on vellum by an anonymous French artist from the 15th century, every intricate detail comes to life in this masterpiece. The intensity of the encounter between St. Bernard and the demon is palpable, as their expressions convey both determination and resistance. St. Bernard's significance lies not only in his spiritual contributions but also in his humanitarian efforts. He established hospices along treacherous routes to Rome, providing shelter and aid to weary travelers and pilgrims. This earned him patronage over mountain climbers, skiers, and all those who journey through the Alps. The composition exudes Renaissance influences with its meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy and dramatic lighting effects that heighten the sense of divine intervention at play. Brought to us by eArchives Charmet via Bridgeman Images, this extraordinary piece invites viewers into a world where good conquers evil through unwavering faith and courage. It serves as a powerful reminder that even when faced with formidable challenges or demons within ourselves, we have the strength within us to overcome them with grace.
