EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the transportation of the body of Saint Lucy, an early Christian martyr who lived from 283 to 303. The woodcut image is derived from Legenda Aurea, a renowned book published in Venice, Italy in 1494. The scene depicted takes us back to the medieval era, possibly during the 13th or 14th century. In this solemn moment, we witness a boat gently gliding through a serene canal as it carries the casket containing Saint Lucy's sacred remains. The exterior setting exudes an air of tranquility and reverence. Saint Lucy holds great significance within Catholicism and early Christianity due to her unwavering faith and ultimate sacrifice for her beliefs. Her story resonates with believers worldwide as she symbolizes courage and devotion even in the face of persecution. This woodcut print beautifully captures not only the historical context but also reflects upon themes such as funerary rituals, holy traditions, and religious veneration prevalent during that time period. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork, let us appreciate its intricate details while contemplating the profound impact that saints like Lucy have had on shaping our spiritual heritage throughout history.
