EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "St. John Chrystostomos Preaching Before the Empress Eudoxia" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Painted by Joseph Wencker in 1880, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 440x608 cm and is currently housed at the Musee Crozatier in Le Puy-en-Velay, France. In this scene, we witness St. John Chrysostomos, a revered bishop and priest of the Greek Orthodox Church from the fourth century, fearlessly addressing a large crowd from his pulpit. His passionate oration captures everyone's attention as he speaks out against the wickedness of Empress Eudoxia. Eudoxia herself stands tall beside him, her finger pointing accusingly towards him. Despite being a powerful female Byzantine ruler, she listens intently to St. John's words with an expression that reveals both intrigue and defiance. This painting holds historical significance as it depicts one of the pivotal moments that led to St. John's exile for speaking truth to power. It showcases his unwavering commitment to his faith and his determination to denounce corruption within society. Wencker skillfully captures the intensity of this encounter through vivid brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. The composition draws us into this dramatic scene where two strong personalities clash amidst a sea of mesmerized onlookers. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power
