EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ste. Brigitte, 1713" takes us back to the 14th century when Saint Bridget of Sweden lived. Created by the talented artist Bernard Picart in the 18th century, this engraving beautifully captures a significant moment in Bridget's life. In this image, we see Saint Bridget kneeling before Christ on the cross, deep in prayer. At just ten years old, she claimed to have had a profound vision of the crucified Christ and even conversed with him. This pivotal experience shaped her faith and devotion throughout her life. Picart skillfully portrays Saint Bridget as a pious woman with hands clasped together in reverence. The monochrome setting adds an air of mysticism to the scene while emphasizing the spiritual nature of this encounter between mortal and divine. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power that belief holds for individuals across centuries and cultures. Saint Bridget's unwavering faith propelled her to become one of Sweden's most revered saints. "Ste. Brigitte" serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic talent from different eras colliding harmoniously within one frame. It invites viewers to reflect on their own beliefs while appreciating Bernard Picart's masterful interpretation of an extraordinary moment in history captured through his engravings.
