EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound significance in the life of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Entitled "St. Patrick met by virgins in the wood of Fochlut" this image is part of The Trias Thaumaturga, a collection dedicated to three wonder-working saints of Ireland. In this scene, we witness St. Patrick's encounter with a group of virgins amidst the enchanting woodland setting. The Irish School artist masterfully portrays the astonishment on both sides - St. Patrick appears startled as he gazes at these ethereal figures, while the virgins exude an aura of reverence and awe towards their revered bishop. Born near Dunbarton, Scotland in 387 and passing away around 461 in Saul, Downpatrick, St. Patrick was not only an apostle but also played a pivotal role in spreading Christianity throughout Ireland. This engraving beautifully depicts his spiritual journey through its intricate details and delicate lines. The lithograph itself dates back to the late 19th century when it was published by Mary Cusack (1829-99). Now residing within a private collection as part of The Stapleton Collection, this piece from Irish history continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate the rich cultural heritage that surrounds St. Patrick's legacy and marvel at how art can transport us through time
