EDITORS COMMENTS

This engraving depicts Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591), a renowned Spanish mystic and reformer of the Carmelite Order. The image is taken from "The Ascent of Mount Carmel," a seminal work composed between 1581 and 1585. Saint John, also known as San Juan de la Cruz, was a prolific poet, priest, and intellectual figure of the Counter-Reformation era in Europe. Born in Castile, Spain, during the 16th century, Saint John of the Cross is considered one of the greatest figures of the Spanish Golden Age. He is best known for his writings on Christian mysticism, which have had a profound impact on the modern intellectual and religious landscape. "The Ascent of Mount Carmel" is a spiritual guide that describes the stages of the soul's ascent to union with God. The work is divided into three parts, each representing a distinct phase of the spiritual journey. The engraving shows Saint John of the Cross in contemplative prayer, with the mountain of Carmel rising in the background. This edition of "The Ascent of Mount Carmel" was published in Madrid in 1695, during the Baroque period. The image is a testament to the enduring influence of Saint John of the Cross's teachings on the Church and European literature. His legacy continues to inspire seekers of spiritual enlightenment and intellectual curiosity in the 21st century. This print is an essential addition to any library or collection focused on European spirituality, religious history, or the literary achievements of the Counter-Reformation era. It is a reminder of the profound impact that one individual can have on the intellectual and spiritual landscape of their time and beyond.
