EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "St. Louis Curing the Sufferers of Scrofula" transports us to a medieval scene filled with divine power and miraculous healing. Painted by Louis Licherie de Beuron in oil on canvas, this masterpiece is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. In this artwork, we witness French king Louis IX (1214-70), known as St. Louis, performing an act of compassion and mercy. Surrounded by angels, soldiers, and kings afflicted with the dreaded disease known as scrofula or the "king's evil". St. Louis channels his faith in Jesus Christ and God the Father to cure their suffering. The composition exudes a sense of solemnity and hope as we see the sickly individuals seeking solace within a tent while others patiently await their turn for healing. The artist skillfully captures both physical pain and emotional anguish on their faces. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith during times of illness and despair. It showcases not only St. Louis' unwavering devotion but also highlights how divine intervention can alleviate human suffering. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let us reflect on our own capacity for empathy and kindness towards those who are afflicted by disease or other hardships. May it inspire us to extend our hands in support to those in need, just like St. Louis did centuries ago.
