EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the mesmerizing "Vision of St. Gertrude" painted by Isidoro Arredondo, a Spanish artist from the 17th century. This oil on canvas masterpiece, attributed to Arredondo himself, measures an impressive 246.3x163.8 cm and is currently housed in The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, County Durham, UK. In this ethereal artwork, we witness St. Gertrude immersed in deep prayer within her heavenly realm. As a mystic and benedictine nun, she exudes an aura of tranquility and devotion while adorned in her traditional habit. With eyes closed and hands clasped together fervently, she connects with the divine through her heartfelt prayers. Surrounded by cherubim or putti - angelic beings often depicted as chubby infants - St. Gertrude's spiritual connection transcends earthly boundaries as she receives visions from above. These celestial messengers hover around her gracefully with their innocent expressions mirroring the purity of her soul. Arredondo skillfully captures both the physical and metaphysical aspects of this visionary experience through his masterful brushstrokes and use of light and shadow. The painting emanates a sense of serenity that transports viewers into a world where faith intertwines with mystical encounters. This remarkable print allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece of history while contemplating the profound spirituality embodied by St. Gertrude's vision captured for eternity on canvas.
