EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured woodblock engraving captures the essence of a Trappist monk engrossed in deep contemplation as he reads the Bible. The image showcases the solemnity and devotion that characterizes the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, commonly known as Trappiste or L'ordre cistercien de la Stricte Observance. The monk is depicted wearing a traditional hooded robe, symbolizing his commitment to a life of simplicity and spirituality. His focused expression reveals an unwavering dedication to studying scripture, highlighting the importance placed on religious texts within this order. Created by Jacques Charles Bar and featured in Abbot Tiron's Histoire et Costumes des Ordres Religieux, this artwork offers a glimpse into both historical and religious contexts. It transports us back to Brussels in 1845 when it was published by Librairie Historique-Artistique. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this print invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as civil society, military orders, chivalry, crusades, and knights. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that monastic communities have had throughout history. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder for all those who appreciate artistry intertwined with spiritual devotion.
