EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1846 takes us back to the ancient city of Toulouse, France. In this historic scene, we witness a momentous event in the life of Saturnin of Toulouse, also known as Saint Sernin. Saint Sernin was a prominent figure in the early Christian era, serving as the first bishop (eveque) of Toulouse during the 3rd century. The engraving depicts him being halted at the capitol of Toulouse by Roman authorities. The artist, Stefano Bianchetti, skillfully captures the essence of this significant religious figure through intricate details and delicate lines. The holy aura surrounding Saint Sernin signifies his divine connection and unwavering faith amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this print housed within a private collection, we are transported to an era where religion played a pivotal role in shaping society. This arresting image not only showcases historical events but also highlights the power struggle between Christianity and the Roman Empire. Through its evocative portrayal, this engraving invites contemplation on themes such as evangelization, human resilience in times of persecution, and antiquity's lasting impact on modern-day France. Stefano Bianchetti's work reminds us that art has always been an essential medium for preserving history and conveying profound messages across generations.
