EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white woodcut print by Jacques Stella, a prominent artist of the Baroque era in France, depicts Saint Jude Thaddeus, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. Saint Jude is shown here in a standing position, clad in simple robes and barefoot, a common attribute of saints in Christian art. He is identified by the distinctive attribute of a club or spear in his hand, symbolizing his role in spreading the word of Christianity and his involvement in warfare and missionary journeys. The print, created during the 17th century, showcases the artist's mastery of the monochrome technique, with intricate details and contrasting textures that bring the figure to life. The use of bold lines and stark contrasts adds to the dynamic and powerful presence of the saint. Saint Jude is a popular figure in Christian art and devotion, and this print is a testament to his enduring significance in the religious and artistic heritage of France and Europe. The print can be found in many art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its beauty and historical significance.
