EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "An Old Winter Custom at the Franciscan Monastery at Fiesole" takes us back to a bygone era in Tuscany, Italy. Created by Hubert von Herkomer in 1899, this print captures a unique tradition that once graced the serene grounds of the monastery. In this enchanting scene, we witness monks gathered around a blazing fire, surrounded by piles of faggots. This old winter custom was an integral part of life in Fiesole, as it provided warmth and comfort during the cold months. The flickering flames dance against the backdrop of ancient stone walls, casting an ethereal glow on their faces. Located just outside Florence, Fiesole holds deep historical significance as one of Europe's oldest settlements. Its rich cultural heritage is beautifully depicted through this engraving - from the traditional Italian attire worn by the monks to the fluttering Italian flag proudly displayed nearby. This image transports us to a time when simplicity reigned supreme and communal gatherings like these fostered unity among residents. It serves as a reminder that even amidst freezing temperatures and harsh winters, human connection and shared traditions can bring solace and joy. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its ability to transport us into history - where customs were cherished and fires illuminated both hearts and hearths alike.
