EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts Saint Sola, an Anglo-Saxon monk who embarked on a spiritual journey from England to Germany in the late eighth century. Driven by a deep desire for religious enlightenment, Sola sought guidance under the tutelage of Saint Boniface, a renowned missionary and bishop. As the print illustrates, Sola's life was marked by solitude and devotion. He is shown here as a hermit, living in the wilderness, communing with nature and nurturing his faith. The rugged landscape, with its towering trees and rocky terrain, serves as a stark reminder of the challenges Sola faced in his quest for spiritual growth. Despite the hardships, Sola's perseverance paid off. He went on to found an abbey at Solnhofen, a small town in present-day Germany, where he spent the remainder of his days in prayer and contemplation. The abbey, which still stands today, became a beacon of faith and learning, attracting pilgrims from far and wide. One of the most intriguing stories about Sola involves his encounter with a wolf. According to legend, the monk was riding his donkey through the forest when the fierce predator appeared. Instead of fleeing in fear, Sola remained calm and prayed for the wolf's protection. To everyone's surprise, the wolf allowed the donkey to pass safely, and from that day on, it is said that the wolf no longer posed a threat to the people of Solnhofen. This vignette offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who left his homeland in search of spiritual enlightenment and went on to become a revered saint and founder of an abbey in Germany. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the power of faith, perseverance, and the transformative impact one person can have on their community.
