EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the revered St. Maria Crescentia Hoess, a remarkable figure from the 18th century. Painted by an anonymous German artist, this oil on canvas masterpiece depicts the saint surrounded by her precious relics. St. Maria Crescentia Hoess (1682-1744) was a devoted Franciscan Tertiary nun who resided in the convent of Mayerhoff at Kaufbeuren in Bavaria. Although her formal beatification and canonization occurred much later, during 1900 and 2001 respectively, her extraordinary holiness was widely acknowledged even during her lifetime. This recognition led to the convent becoming a significant pilgrimage site both before and after her passing. Serving as Superior from 1741 until her death in 1744, St. Maria Crescentia Hoess's feast day is celebrated on April 6th each year. She is regarded as a saint of ecumenism due to her ability to foster unity among different religious groups. The painting itself exudes piety and reverence with its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors that bring St. Maria Crescentia Hoess to life on canvas. The inclusion of various relics adds another layer of sacredness to the composition, emphasizing their significance in honoring this esteemed holy figure. Displayed within private collections today, this artwork serves as a testament not only to St. Maria Crescentia Hoess's spiritual legacy but also to the enduring power of faith throughout history.
