EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork of El Greco, Dominico (1541-1614), titled "Saint Veronica". Housed in the esteemed collection of Museo de Santa Cruz, Toledo, this masterpiece delves into the realms of spirituality and devotion. The image depicts Saint Veronica, a significant figure from the New Testament and an emblematic symbol within Christianity. In biblical lore, she is known for her act of compassion towards Jesus Christ during his arduous journey to Golgotha. As he carried his cross, Veronica approached him with a veil called sudarium or vera. Miraculously imprinted on this cloth was believed to be an image of Jesus' face. El Greco's skillful use of oil on canvas brings forth a sense of divine presence as he portrays Saint Veronica holding up the sacred relic - known by various names such as The Vernicle or The Mandylion - showcasing the holy countenance that many believe was made without human hands. This art piece also alludes to another intriguing legend: the Image of Edessa or Mandylion. According to ancient tales, Abgarus of Edessa sought healing from Jesus and sent him a cloth upon which his likeness miraculously appeared. Through El Greco's masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, this print captures not only religious iconography but also evokes profound contemplation about faith and spiritual connection. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and enduring religious significance throughout history.
