EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St Louis of Gonzaga, an Italian saint revered for his role as the protector of young students. Dating back to the 19th century, this image portrays St Louis, also known as St Aloysius, in his priestly robes as he kneels before an altar and contemplates a crucifix. Through a gap in the clouds above, we catch a glimpse of Heaven adorned with the symbolic letters "IHS" representing Christ. The wood engraving technique used to create this portrait adds depth and texture to the scene. The artist skillfully captures St Louis' serene expression and pious demeanor, highlighting his devotion to Christianity and education. Surrounded by nature's beauty, including a prominent tree in the background, this portrayal emphasizes both spirituality and harmony with God's creation. The vibrant colors enhance the overall composition while drawing attention to St Louis' halo—a symbol of his sanctity.
