EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Saint James the Elder" by Jacques Stella (17th century) This striking black and white woodcut print, created by the renowned French Baroque artist Jacques Stella during the 17th century, showcases the venerated figure of Saint James the Elder. Known as "Saint Jacques" in France and "Santiago" in Spain, Saint James is a significant figure in Christianity, particularly revered as the patron saint of Spain and the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The image captures Saint James in a standing position, dressed in the traditional attire of a pilgrim. His long, flowing beard and the halo encircling his head denote his saintly status. The monochrome palette of this woodcut print, with its intricate details and bold lines, is characteristic of the Baroque era. The artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century, a time when religious art flourished in Europe. This print is now part of the esteemed collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Jacques Stella, a prominent figure in the French art scene, was known for his innovative use of chiaroscuro and his ability to create depth and texture through his mastery of woodcut techniques. This print of Saint James the Elder is a prime example of his artistic prowess and his dedication to the religious themes that dominated the Baroque era. As you gaze upon this powerful image, you can almost hear the whispers of the pilgrims who once walked the Camino de Santiago, their hearts filled with faith and determination. The timeless beauty of this artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of religious art and the profound impact it continues to have on our lives.
