EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Saint Theresia of Avila, the revered founder of the Discalced Carmelites. With her hands folded in prayer, she stands surrounded by a heavenly aura created by a group of cherubic putti. The saint is adorned in the traditional habit of the Carmelites, symbolizing her devotion and commitment to her religious order. Intriguingly, an angel appears on the left side of the image, pointing an arrow towards Saint Theresia as if guiding her spiritual journey. Above this celestial messenger hovers a triangle, representing God the Father and signifying divine presence and guidance throughout Theresia's life. The artist skillfully incorporates various attributes associated with Saint Theresia into this engraving. These include angels, arrows denoting divine intervention or inspiration, doves symbolizing peace or purity, hearts either aflame or pierced by arrows representing intense love or suffering respectively. Additionally, there are references to sacred symbols such as triangles within circles that represent Trinity or Pieter van den Berge's eye motif. Created between 1675 and 1737 by Pieter van den Berge from Amsterdam using paper and engraving techniques; this artwork measures approximately 358 mm in height and 253 mm in width. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Saint Theresia's profound spirituality and enduring legacy within the Discalced Carmelite community.
