EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relic from the 10th century - the Reliquary statue of St. Foy, with a focus on its intricately detailed head. Crafted from gold, silver, wood, and adorned with precious and semi-precious stones, this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 85 cm. What makes this reliquary statue truly extraordinary is that its head dates back even further to the 5th century. The piercing gaze of St. Foy's staring eyes captures one's attention immediately, drawing us into the depth of her faith and devotion. The earring and crown adorning her head symbolize her sainthood and regal status as a martyr for her unwavering belief in Christianity. Encrusted with jewels, these adornments add an exquisite touch to the overall composition. Housed within the Church of St. Foy in Conques, France, this relic holds immense historical significance as it represents both religious devotion and artistic excellence from centuries past. As we admire this photograph by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty but also feel a connection to the saintly figure represented here - St. Foy herself - whose steadfast faith continues to inspire countless individuals today.
