EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail of St Adalbert, captured by the talented artist Master Theodoric. Created after 1370 but reproduced in 1955, this artwork depicts the iconic figure of Bishop Adalbert of Prague during his noble mission to spread Christianity among the Baltic Prussians. The original painting, executed with tempera on panel and seen before restoration, was part of Archbishop Jan Ocko's votive panel. In this portrait, we witness St Adalbert holding a staff while wearing his bishop's mitre. His face exudes deep devotion and determination as he carries out his religious duties. The vibrant colors used by Master Theodoric bring life to this medieval masterpiece from Bohemia. St Adalbert's story is one of martyrdom and unwavering faith. Born in the tenth century (c956-997), he dedicated his life to converting others to Christianity despite facing immense challenges. This print captures not only the physical appearance but also the spiritual essence of this revered saint. The collaboration between Antonin Matejcek and Jaroslav Pesina resulted in their book "Gothic Painting in Bohemia 1350-1450" which featured this remarkable artwork among many others from that era. Their efforts allowed art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and study these precious pieces. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of St Adalbert's legacy as an influential figure in Czech history and Christian religion. It serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and religious devotion that continues to inspire generations even today.
