EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Seven Saints of Brittany" from the renowned Chroniques de Bretagne by Alain Bouchard. Created in 1514, this illustration is a true masterpiece that beautifully captures the essence of these revered saints. Intricately engraved by Paul Lacroix in 1878, this artwork combines both science and literature from the Middle Ages and Renaissance eras. The French School artist skillfully brings to life Pol Aurelian or Pol de Leon, St. Sanson or Samson, St. Malo, St. Brieuc, Paterne or Vannes, Corentin or Quimper, and Tugdual or Treguier through his meticulous craftsmanship. Each saint is depicted as a bishop with their distinctive mitre and crozier while adorned in elegant copes. Their benevolent expressions radiate wisdom and grace as they bestow blessings upon all who gaze upon them. These saints hold significant importance as founders of dioceses within Brittany's rich religious history. This remarkable engraving serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and spiritual influence on the region. Now preserved within a private collection, this timeless work of art continues to inspire awe with its intricate details and profound symbolism. As we admire this piece today, it allows us to connect with centuries-old traditions while appreciating the artistic brilliance that transcends time itself.
