EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white woodcut print, created by the renowned French Baroque artist Jacques Stella in the 17th century, depicts the powerful image of Saint Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ and one of the most influential figures in the founding of Christianity. Saint Paul is shown here in traditional attire, with a long robe draped over one shoulder and a cloak draped around his body. He stands boldly with his bare feet and beard, a testament to the ascetic lifestyle he led during his missionary journeys. In his right hand, Saint Paul holds a sword, symbolizing the spiritual warfare he waged against paganism and heresy. The sword also represents the power to cut through ignorance and bring enlightenment to others. In his left hand, he clutches a bundle of letters or scrolls, symbolizing the epistles or letters he wrote to various Christian communities. This stunning work of art, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Baroque era. The intricate details of Saint Paul's body and facial features, as well as the dynamic use of contrast in the monochrome print, demonstrate Stella's mastery of the woodcut medium. This powerful and evocative image continues to inspire and captivate viewers, reminding us of the enduring influence of Saint Paul on the history of Christianity and the world.
