The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a renowned legend from Christian folklore, depicted in this woodcut print from the "Lives of the Saints, Summertime" series, created in the 15th century and assembled in 1929. The creators of this masterpiece are attributed to the unknown artist, Simon Koch, Jacobus de Voragine, and Wilhelm Ludwig Schreiber. The image portrays the story of seven young men, companions of Saint Epiphanius, who sought refuge in a cave to escape Emperor Decius' persecution of Christians. To shield themselves from discovery, they prayed to God and fell into a deep sleep. Three hundred years later, they were awakened by a Christian boy who discovered them, still alive and unharmed. This evocative print showcases the Seven Sleepers in various stages of slumber, with their faithful dog lying at their feet. The intricate details and meticulous shading in the woodcut demonstrate the skill and artistry of the unknown artist. The letterpress and hand-tinted elements add depth and richness to the image, making it a stunning addition to any art collection. Originally from Germany, this antique artifact is now part of the esteemed collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art and storytelling, bridging the gap between the 15th and 20th centuries. The black and white woodcut, with its intricate lines and delicate shading, invites the viewer to ponder the depth of the story and the beauty of the artistic craftsmanship. This image of "The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus" is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or the rich cultural heritage of Europe. It serves as a reminder of the timeless stories and artistic traditions that have shaped our world and continue to inspire and captivate us today.
