EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white woodcut print, created by Jacques Stella during the Baroque era of the 17th century, depicts Saint Philip, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. Saint Philip is shown here in a contemplative stance, standing barefoot and clad in simple robes, with a long beard and a halo above his head. The crucifix in the background serves as a reminder of the central tenet of Christianity: the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus. Jacques Stella, a French artist, masterfully captures the essence of Saint Philip's spirituality and devotion in this monochrome masterpiece. The use of contrasting black and white tones adds depth and texture to the image, bringing out the intricate details of the saint's facial features, the folds of his robes, and the rough texture of his bare feet. This artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century and the enduring influence of religious art on European culture. It is a powerful reminder of the human capacity for spiritual reflection and the importance of faith in our lives. The print is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Whether you are a scholar of art history, a student of religious studies, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and depth of human creativity, this print by Jacques Stella is a must-see.
