EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 20th century lithography print depicts Saints Cosmas and Damian, two early Christian physicians and surgeons who are revered for their healing abilities and are often represented with medical emblems. The vertical, upright composition showcases the saints in colorful robes, with Cosmas holding a cross and an axe, symbols of his martyrdom and ordeal by fire, while Damian holds a feather and a quill, representing the inkwell and plumage used in the medical field. The intricate details of their clothing and the delicate shading in the print add to its visual appeal. Saints Cosmas and Damian, believed to have lived in the late 3rd century, were twin brothers from Syria who dedicated their lives to healing the sick and the poor. They were martyred for refusing to renounce their Christian faith during the Roman Empire's persecution of Christians. Their sanctity and devotion to medicine have made them the patron saints of physicians and surgeons. This beautiful lithography print, produced in Paris during the 20th century, is an excellent example of hagiography, the artistic and literary tradition of representing the lives and virtues of saints. The print's rich colors and intricate details bring the story of Saints Cosmas and Damian to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of religious art or medical history.
