EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense spiritual struggle in the painting "Exorcism of a Man Possessed by a Demon, from the Altarpiece of St. Bernard of Clairvaux" by Bassa, Ferrer (c. 1290-1348) attributed to him. The oil on panel artwork is housed in the Museo Episcopal de Vic, Osona, Catalonia, Spain. In this medieval masterpiece, we witness an exorcism taking place as a man writhes in agony while being tormented by a demonic presence. The artist skillfully portrays the desperation and fear etched on his face as he seeks deliverance from his tormentor. The scene is set against a backdrop reminiscent of Gothic architecture, adding to the overall sense of mystery and religious fervor. This piece exemplifies the artistic style prevalent during that era and provides valuable insight into medieval beliefs surrounding possession and miracles. The painting's composition draws attention not only to the possessed man but also to those involved in his exorcism - possibly clergymen or holy figures attempting to banish evil forces through their divine intervention. Their expressions convey determination and faith as they engage in this battle between good and evil. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and explore themes such as spirituality, mental health struggles, and supernatural phenomena within medieval society. It serves as a powerful reminder that art has always been instrumental in capturing human experiences across time periods.
