EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century engraving by Hans Burgkmair titled "Saint Valentine, Saint Stephen and Saint Maximilie" is a remarkable piece of religious art. The print showcases three prominent figures from Christian history, each depicted with great detail and symbolism. In the center stands Saint Valentine, known as the patron saint of love and affection. He holds a pastoral staff, symbolizing his role as a bishop in the Catholic Church. To his left is Saint Stephen, recognized as the first martyr of Christianity. His halo shines brightly above him, representing his sanctity and divine connection. On the right side stands Saint Maximilie, whose coat of arms signifies his noble lineage. The vibrant colors used in this wood engraving bring life to these revered saints while also highlighting their spiritual significance. The intricate details on their hats and robes showcase Burgkmair's artistic skill and attention to craftsmanship. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to both German Renaissance artistry and European religious heritage.
