EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, titled "The Corporation of the Goldsmiths of Paris carrying the Shrine of St Genevieve" transports us back to 17th century France. The print showcases a significant moment in history as it depicts members of the Goldsmiths' Guild proudly bearing the revered shrine of St Genevieve through the streets of Paris. Intriguingly, this religious procession not only highlights the deep-rooted Christian faith prevalent during that era but also sheds light on the importance of trade guilds in medieval society. The goldsmiths, dressed in their distinctive livery attire, demonstrate their devotion to both their craft and religion as they honor St Genevieve, who is known as the patron saint of Paris. Paul Lacroix's meticulous attention to detail brings this scene to life, capturing every intricate aspect from the expressions on each man's face to their determined posture while carrying this precious reliquary. Through his artistry, Lacroix offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where occupation and religion intertwined seamlessly. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images, we are reminded not only of France's rich cultural heritage but also how historical events shaped societies throughout time. It serves as a testament to human craftsmanship and devotion while providing an opportunity for reflection on our own connection with tradition and spirituality.
