EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Saint Siffredus of Carpentras" from the Provencal school, dating back to the late 15th century. Painted with tempera on panel by an anonymous French artist, this masterpiece is housed in the Musee du Petit Palais in Avignon, France. The subject of this painting is Saint Siffredus, also known as Saint Siffrein, a seventh-century monk who resided at Lerins Abbey. Renowned for his devotion to pastoral care and his compassion towards the poor, he played a significant role in constructing numerous churches across Carpentras and Vaucluse regions in France. Notably, Carpentras Cathedral stands as a testament to his dedication and is dedicated to him. In this portrait depiction of Saint Siffredus, he appears regal yet approachable. Clad in bishop's attire complete with a crozier and mitre, he exudes authority while maintaining a warm smile that radiates benevolence. His outstretched hand offers a blessing or benediction to those who gaze upon him. Every detail within this artwork speaks volumes about the veneration bestowed upon Saint Siffredus throughout history. From his ornate ring and gloves symbolizing his high ecclesiastical status to the meticulous brushwork capturing every nuance of expression on his face - it all contributes to making this piece truly remarkable.
