EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Crozier of St. Robert, crafted around 1100 and made from gilded silver. Created by the French School in the 12th century, this remarkable piece stands at a height of 25 cm and is currently housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France. The crozier holds great historical significance as it belonged to Robert of Molesme (1028-1111), a revered Benedictine monk who founded both the Abbey of Molesme and later Cîteaux. Known for his pivotal role in reforming monasticism, Robert was one of the founders of the Cistercian order of monks in France. His contributions were so profound that he was canonized by Pope Honorius III in 1220. The craftsmanship displayed on this crozier is truly awe-inspiring. The intricate details carved into its surface showcase not only the skill but also the devotion put into its creation. Adorned with religious symbols such as crosses, this crozier serves as a powerful representation of faith and spirituality. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era where metalwork served not only functional purposes but also acted as expressions of reverence towards divine figures. This image invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this stunning artifact and its deep connection to Saint Robert's legacy as a reformer within monasticism.
