EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century print by Sebald Beham depicts two prominent saints, Christophorus and Erasmus, each holding their unique coats of arms. The image, dated between 1510 and 1550, showcases the intricate details of the saints' attributes and heraldic symbols. Saint Christophorus, traditionally known as the "Saint of Travelers," is depicted carrying a child on his shoulders, signifying his role as a protector. His coat of arms, displayed prominently on his chest, is adorned with a bishop's crook and a pastoral staff, symbolizing his spiritual and pastoral roles. Saint Erasmus, on the other hand, is shown holding his entrails on a windlass, an attribute that represents his gruesome martyrdom. His coat of arms displays a bishop's crozier and a shield with a cross and a star. Erasmus is known as the patron saint of education and scholars, and his martyrdom is a reminder of his unwavering faith and commitment to Christianity. The print is hand-colored, adding vibrant colors to the intricate lines and details of the drawing. The use of ink and watercolor paint creates a stunning contrast between the bold lines and the delicate shading. This beautiful artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the 16th century, and is now preserved in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam for all to appreciate.
