EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of Saint Elzear of Sabran healing three lepers, a scene carved in exquisite alabaster during the 14th century. The sculpture, measuring 43.5x38.5x12 cm, now resides in the esteemed Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. Saint Elzear was a revered Franciscan mystic and miracle worker who lived from 1285 to 1323. This remarkable artwork was created as part of his tomb's base for the Franciscan church in his hometown of Apt, Provence. It showcases his divine ability to cure those afflicted with leprosy - an infectious disease that plagued many during medieval times. The intricate carving depicts Saint Elzear standing amidst three outcast lepers, emanating compassion and hope through his monastic habit. As a testament to his miraculous powers and devotion to Christianity, he was canonized by Pope Urban V - who also happened to be his godson. The alabaster sculpture beautifully captures the gothic aesthetic prevalent during this era while conveying the spiritual significance behind Saint Elzear's healing abilities. Its delicate details bring forth emotions of faith and reverence towards this renowned healer and bonesetter. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can appreciate both the artistic mastery involved in creating such a piece as well as its historical context within medieval religious practices.
