EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "The St James Window: the demon departs thanks to St James cloak" we are transported back in time to the 13th century, inside the magnificent Chartres Cathedral in France. The stained glass masterpiece, created by an anonymous French School artist, beautifully captures a moment of intense spiritual significance. As rays of sunlight filter through the vibrant hues and intricate details of the Gothic-inspired design, our attention is drawn to a central figure - Saint James. With his iconic pilgrim's staff and scallop shell symbolizing his role as patron saint of travelers and pilgrims, he stands tall against a backdrop of celestial blue. Hovering menacingly before him is a grotesque demon, its contorted features reflecting pure malevolence. Yet hope radiates from Saint James' cloak as it envelops the creature with divine power. In this pivotal moment frozen in time, we witness an exorcism taking place – evil being expelled by faith. The craftsmanship evident in every brushstroke showcases the skill and dedication that went into creating such awe-inspiring works during medieval times. This particular piece not only serves as a testament to religious devotion but also exemplifies how art was used as a powerful tool for storytelling and spiritual guidance. Through this remarkable photograph from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate both the historical significance and artistic brilliance behind "The St James Window". It invites us to delve into centuries-old narratives while marveling at humanity's enduring quest for salvation
