EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Masonic apron, meticulously crafted with silks and embroidery on leather. Created by the French School in the 18th century, this exquisite piece is now housed in the Musee de la Franc-Maçonnerie in Paris, France. Believed to have belonged to Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821), a renowned philosopher, writer, and prominent freemason, this apron holds great historical significance. De Maistre is considered one of the founders of European conservative philosophy alongside Edmund Burke. The apron features intricate Rosicrucian and Masonic motifs that delve into the symbolism cherished by Freemasons. One striking symbol depicted on this apron is that of a pelican feeding its young with its own blood. This powerful image represents the sacrifice of Christ on the cross—a profound emblem of selflessness and devotion. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork exemplifies both skill and artistry. Every stitch tells a story as it weaves together centuries-old traditions and beliefs held dear by Freemasons throughout history. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images, take a moment to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its deeper meaning—a testament to human connection, sacrifice, and enlightenment within an ancient brotherhood that continues to shape our world today.
