EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning artwork of Peter Paul Rubens, specifically his masterpiece "St. Christopher and the Hermit". The painting is located right outside the shutter of the Descent from the Cross triptych in Antwerp Cathedral, Belgium. Rubens, a renowned Flemish artist of the Baroque period, skillfully captures St. Christopher's muscular physique and impressive wingspan in this oil on panel composition. The saint stands tall against a nocturnal backdrop illuminated by a crescent moon and a solitary lamp. The presence of both St. Christopher and the hermit highlights themes of travel and reclusiveness within wilderness settings. Their bearded appearances add to their enigmatic aura as they engage in an intriguing conversation amidst nature's tranquility. Measuring an impressive 420x150 cm, this altarpiece panel is part of Rubens' larger body of work that exemplifies his mastery over baroque art style. His attention to detail and ability to convey emotion through brushstrokes make him one of history's most celebrated painters. Through this print captured by Hugo Maertens for Art in Flanders, viewers can appreciate Rubens' artistic genius without being physically present at Onze Lieve Vrouwkerk. It serves as a testament to Ruben's enduring legacy as an influential figure in Flemish art history.
