EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cure through the Intercession of a Healing Saint" takes us back to the enchanting world of medieval times. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the power and significance attributed to divine intervention and healing saints during that era. The image depicts a scene where ailing individuals seek solace and relief from their afflictions through the intercession of a revered saint. The intricate details in this woodcut capture both the religious fervor and medical practices prevalent during this period. It serves as an illustration for Paul Lacroix's book, "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" published in 1878. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to an age when faith played a vital role in seeking remedies for ailments. The delicate lines etched on firwood reveal not only artistic skill but also reflect upon society's beliefs surrounding health and well-being. With its connection to Boethius' influential work "Consolation of Philosophy" translated into German by Holbein in 1537, this engraving bridges multiple disciplines - religion, medicine, philosophy - showcasing how they intertwined during those early centuries. Through Bridgeman Images' digital restoration efforts, we can now appreciate every minute detail with clarity while contemplating how our understanding of cure has evolved over time. This print is not just a historical artifact; it is an invitation to explore our own perceptions about healing and spirituality across different eras.
