EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to a realm where dreams intertwine with reality. St Bernard's mother finds herself in the midst of an extraordinary dream, as she gives birth to a dog instead of a human child. The image is rich with symbolism and invites us to contemplate the mysteries of life. Meanwhile, St Bernard himself experiences his own profound dream - one that takes him back in time to witness the Nativity scene. Created by Urs Graf (The Elder) in 1519, this engraving beautifully depicts scenes from the Life of Bernard of Clairvaux for a reliquary containing Saint Bernard's skull. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the power and significance of religious imagery. The nativity scene unfolds before our eyes; Mary cradles baby Jesus while Joseph stands protectively by their side. The stable serves as their humble dwelling, surrounded by gentle oxen and donkeys who bear witness to this miraculous event. This print not only captures moments from Christian history but also delves into themes such as superstition and dreams. It encourages us to explore our own beliefs and ponder how they shape our understanding of the world around us. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, this artwork transports us beyond mere visual representation – it invites us on a spiritual journey that transcends time itself.
