EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the legendary journey of Marie Jacobe and Marie Salome, two of the four Marys believed to have accompanied Jesus Christ to the Holy Land and later, according to tradition, sailed to Provence, France. Known as Les Saintes Maries de la Mer, or 'The Holy Maries of the Sea,' these women are revered as the patron saints of sailors and fishermen in the region. The image captures the moment of their arrival, as they are carried across the Mediterranean Sea by a pair of angels. Marie Jacobe, holding the infant Saint Roch, is shown on the left, while Marie Salome cradles the sacred cross. The women are dressed in traditional Middle Eastern garb, reflecting their origins in Palestine. The backdrop of the French coastline and the calm, turquoise waters of the Mediterranean add to the serene and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. The print, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites the viewer to imagine the miraculous journey of these holy women and their enduring legacy in the history of Christianity. This historical concept, deeply rooted in the folklore and religious traditions of Provence, continues to captivate the imagination and inspire pilgrimages to the shrine of Les Saintes Maries de la Mer in Stes-Marie-de-la-Mer, a small town on the French coast. The print serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the enduring allure of the sea.
