EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Saint Christopher" by Lieven van Lathem, a talented Flemish artist from the 15th century. Created in 1469, this masterpiece is an example of tempera colors, gold leaf, gold paint, silver paint, and ink on parchment. The attention to detail and skillful execution are evident in every brushstroke. The focal point of the painting is Saint Christopher himself, depicted as a towering figure with a strong physique. He stands against a vibrant background adorned with intricate patterns and delicate foliage. With his hands firmly gripping a staff while wading through turbulent waters, he carries the infant Jesus on his shoulder—a symbol of protection and guidance. Van Lathem's mastery lies not only in capturing physical attributes but also in conveying emotions through facial expressions. The saint's serene countenance exudes compassion and dedication to his divine duty. This remarkable piece was created during Van Lathem's active period between 1454 and 1493 when he resided in Ghent, Belgium. Its small size—measuring just 12.4 x 9.2 cm—adds to its charm while allowing for close examination of its intricate details. As we admire this print from the Liszt Collection today, we can appreciate how art transcends time and space; it connects us with past eras while evoking profound emotions within our own hearts.
