EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense battle between good and evil as St. James the Elder valiantly combats the diabolical enchantments of a powerful magician. Engraved in the 16th century after a composition by Brueghel the Elder, this artwork showcases the remarkable talent of both artist and engraver. The scene is filled with an air of mysticism and danger, as St. James stands tall against a backdrop of chaos and mayhem. The Sabbath seems to have been disrupted by dark forces, unleashing a horde of menacing beasts upon unsuspecting souls. In this moment, hell itself appears to have opened its gates, revealing devilish creatures that threaten to engulf everything in their path. Undeterred by this overwhelming spectacle, our saint fearlessly confronts these malevolent beings with unwavering determination. His faith shines through his resolute expression as he brandishes his weapon against these supernatural adversaries. The image exudes an aura of magic and mystery, transporting us back to an era when legends were born and heroes emerged from unlikely places. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great turmoil and temptation, there are those who stand firm against darkness for the greater good. This remarkable piece from Science and Literature in the Middle Ages by Paul Lacroix (1878) is now part of a private collection but remains accessible through Ken Welsh's archive at www. bridgemanimages. com – allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance
