EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Bernard of Clairvaux sending monks to daughter houses. The image showcases the Cistercian monks during the years 1249-1250, as they embark on their spiritual journey under the guidance of Saint Bernard himself. The scene is taken from "Expositio in Apocalypsim" by Alexander of Bremen and can be found within the esteemed collection of Cambridge University Library. Painted with exquisite detail using gouache on parchment, this fine art piece exemplifies the Gothic style prevalent during that era. Bernard of Clairvaux, a revered bishop, philosopher, theologian, and church father, played a pivotal role in establishing and expanding the Cistercian monastic order. With unwavering faith and dedication to Catholicism, he sent these devoted monks to establish new daughter houses across various regions. In this image filled with symbolism and religious fervor, we witness an anchorite surrounded by anonymous ascetics embarking on a life dedicated to prayer and solitude. This visual representation serves as a testament to their commitment to living an austere existence for the greater glory of God. As we delve into this genre-historical masterpiece captured by Fine Art Images/Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the profound impact Saint Bernard had on shaping Christian history through his teachings and monastic reforms.
