EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning artwork of Master Theodoric, a renowned artist from 14th century Bohemia. Titled "St Vitus, 1365-1367" this masterpiece depicts the eponymous saint who was martyred in 303 during the religious persecution by Diocletian and Maximian. St Vitus is particularly significant to Prague as its cathedral bears his name. Commissioned by King Charles IV of Bohemia, Theodoric's magnum opus consists of an exquisite collection of panel and wall paintings featuring saints, prophets, and angels. One can only imagine the awe-inspiring beauty that adorned the Chapel of the Holy Cross at Karlstejn Castle. The print itself comes from "Gothic Painting in Bohemia 1350-1450" a remarkable publication by Antonin Matejcek and Jaroslav Pesina. It captures every intricate detail with vibrant colors that bring this medieval artwork to life. In this particular portrait, St Vitus stands tall and dignified, holding a staff symbolizing his martyrdom for Christianity. His Sicilian origins are evident through his Italian features and attire. This image serves as a testament to both faith and artistic mastery. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness not only the skillful brushstrokes but also the devotion that inspired such creations. It is a true treasure for art enthusiasts seeking to delve into Bohemian Gothic artistry while immersing themselves in centuries-old religious history.
