EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to witness a Waldensian youth hiding his vernacular Bible during the 12th century. The image beautifully captures the essence of this Christian sect, known for their devotion to Christ through simplicity and poverty. The young man's face is filled with determination as he carefully conceals his treasured Bible, aware of the persecution they faced from Rome for their beliefs. His eyes reflect both fear and hope, symbolizing the resilience of those who followed this path. This wood engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by religious minorities throughout history. It highlights the importance placed on faith and spirituality even in times of adversity. The monochrome tones add depth to the portrait, emphasizing not only the youth's occupation but also his commitment to spreading his religious message as a missionary. This print offers us a glimpse into an era where religion played a central role in people's lives, shaping their identity and defining their purpose. Through this evocative image, we are invited to reflect on themes such as protestantism, poverty, simplicity, and perseverance.
