EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white woodcut print, created by the renowned French Baroque artist Jacques Stella in the 17th century, depicts Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. Saint Peter, identified by his distinctive balding head, long beard, and bare feet, is shown here in a standing position, clad in simple robes and wearing a halo that signifies his sainthood. He is holding the keys of Heaven, an attribute that symbolizes his role as the first Pope and the keeper of the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. This artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Baroque era, with its dramatic use of contrast and intricate detail. The monochrome palette adds a sense of timelessness and solemnity to the image, while the bold lines and expressive body language bring the figure to life. Originally created during the 17th century in France, this print is now part of the esteemed collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us across time and place, and to connect us with the deepest traditions of human culture and spirituality.
