EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Gothic masterpiece, titled "St. Veronica with the Holy Kerchief," dates back to the early 15th century and was created in Cologne, Germany. The painting, housed in Munich's Alte Pinakothek, is attributed to an anonymous German artist, often referred to as the Master of Saint Veronica. The work depicts St. Veronica, a legendary figure from the first century AD, who, according to Christian tradition, wiped the face of Jesus as He carried the Cross through Jerusalem. In this painting, St. Veronica is shown holding the sacred cloth, now known as the Veil of Veronica, which bears the miraculous imprint of Christ's face. Angels flank the saint, their wings outstretched in adoration, while a cherub holds the crown of thorns above Jesus' head. The artist masterfully captures the emotion and intensity of the scene, with Jesus' face showing the signs of His suffering, and St. Veronica's expression conveying a deep sense of reverence and compassion. The intricate details of the angels' robes and the delicate folds of the cloth add to the painting's beauty and authenticity. The legend of St. Veronica and the Holy Kerchief has been a significant part of Christian art and devotion since the Middle Ages. This painting, with its impressive and imprinted image of Christ's face, serves as a powerful reminder of the Passion and the enduring faith of St. Veronica. The work's preservation in the Alte Pinakothek allows us to appreciate the artistic mastery of the past and the enduring power of religious art.
