EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. Stephen and St. Blaise" from the Altarpiece of Pierre Rup, created around 1450 by the Swiss School in oil on panel. Housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic prowess of the 15th-century Swiss artists. The image depicts two revered figures from Christian history: St. Stephen and St. Blaise. St. Stephen, known as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, was an apostle and martyr who played a significant role in spreading Christianity during its early days. He is portrayed wearing a bishop's mitre and holding a book symbolizing his teachings. Beside him stands St. Blaise, an Armenian physician who later became Bishop of Sebaste. He holds a crozier representing his ecclesiastical authority and wool combs signifying his patronage over wool workers. The attention to detail evident in this painting is truly remarkable; every brushstroke brings these holy figures to life with depth and emotion. As we admire this print, we are transported back centuries to witness not only exceptional artistry but also gain insight into religious devotion during that era.
