EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of compassion and charity in a historical context. The engraving depicts St. Adelard (c. 752-827), a revered figure known for his benevolence, distributing alms to those in need. The image showcases St. Adelard's unwavering commitment to helping the less fortunate, as he extends his hand towards a group of individuals who rely on crutches or suffer from various ailments such as leprosy and disability. Despite their afflictions, they are met with kindness and care by this remarkable Benedictine monk. The scene is set against the backdrop of poverty-stricken surroundings, emphasizing the destitution faced by these outcasts. Yet amidst this despair, St. Adelard stands tall as a beacon of hope, offering solace through his acts of generosity. Through this engraving by Hans Burgkmair (c. 1473-1531), we are transported back to an era where healthcare was scarce and marginalized communities were often forgotten. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times when medical advancements were limited, there were individuals like St. Adelard who dedicated themselves selflessly to improving the lives of others. This powerful portrayal not only highlights the importance of charitable deeds but also pays homage to those who dedicate their lives to caring for society's most vulnerable members – reminding us all that kindness can transcend time and leave an indelible impact on humanity.
