EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable depiction of Saint Odile, the Abbess of Strasbourg and patron saint of the blind. Created by Villain in the 19th century, this bas-relief captures the essence of Saint Odile's story with intricate detail. In this image, we see Saint Odile standing alongside her father Eticho or Adalrich, Duke of Alsace, and Bishop Leodegar von Autun, who is her uncle through her mother Berswinda. The artist has beautifully portrayed Saint Odile's sightless eyes as a symbol of her connection to those suffering from blindness and other disabilities. The tinted lithograph by Villain is based on an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel from his renowned collection called "Costumes, Weapons and Furniture for the History of France". This particular artwork was published in 1827 by Treuttel & Wurtz, Bossange. Saint Odile's inspiring life story resonates through this print. As she dedicated herself to serving others despite her own physical challenges, she became a beacon of hope for many. Her unwavering faith and determination make her an enduring figure in history. This print not only captures an important moment in ancient French history but also serves as a reminder that strength can be found even in our vulnerabilities. It stands as a testament to the power of compassion and resilience embodied by Saint Odile herself.
