EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases scenes from the life of Saint Blaise, offering a glimpse into the rich history and legends surrounding this revered figure. Created as a facsimile of a 15th-century manuscript known as the Legendaire des Anjou-Hongrie, this artwork is attributed to the school of Bologna. The image depicts various episodes from Saint Blaise's life in a clockwise arrangement. On the left side, we witness his remarkable ability to cure animals, including a wolf, bear, and stag. Moving towards the top right corner, we see him saving a child who had choked on a fishbone - an act that solidifies his patronage over throats and throat illnesses. However, it is in the bottom right corner where Saint Blaise's martyrdom takes place. He was tragically ripped apart by wool combs for refusing to renounce his faith. This gruesome depiction serves as a testament to his unwavering devotion. Interestingly, another tradition connects Saint Blaise with Vlaise, the Slavic horse god associated with animals. This connection adds depth and intrigue to his story. Presented in vibrant color lithography by French School artists during the 19th century, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into religious iconography while appreciating its artistic beauty. Housed within a private collection and made available through eArchives Charmet courtesy of Bridgeman Images, this piece provides us with an invaluable window into centuries-old beliefs and traditions surrounding one of
