EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of St. Yves de Treguier, a revered saint and patron of lawyers. Created by the French School in the 16th century, this wooden sculpture is housed in the Church of St. Martin in Amiens, France. In this remarkable depiction, St. Yves is depicted holding a pouch filled with bread, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to serving the poor and marginalized. Alongside it rests a scroll of law, representing his dedication to justice and fair legal practices. St. Yves de Treguier's image exudes wisdom and compassion as he stands adorned in traditional attire complete with a hat that signifies his role as an advocate for those seeking guidance within the legal system. The artist skillfully captures both the spiritual essence and earthly responsibilities associated with this beloved saint. Through intricate details carved into wood, every contour reflects devotion to faith and service to humanity. As we admire this masterpiece from Musee de Picardie in Amiens, let us remember St. Yves' significant contributions not only as a hermit but also as an influential lawyer during his lifetime from 1253-1303. On May 19th each year, we commemorate St. Yves' feast day—a time to reflect on his legacy that continues to inspire individuals around the world today.
