EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative monochrome print, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, the renowned 12th-century Cistercian monk and abbot, is depicted in solemn reproach as he confronts his sister, Hombeline. The scene unfolds at the hallowed grounds of Clairvaux Abbey, a place of profound spiritual reflection and devotion. Bernard, dressed in the traditional monastic habit, gazes intently at his sister, his expression a blend of sadness and firm resolve. Hombeline, on the other hand, is shown clinging to an array of earthly possessions - a symbol of her attachment to material wealth. The contrast between their garments underscores the stark divide between the spiritual and the worldly. Bernard's reproach of his sister was a pivotal moment in the annals of Christian history. According to legend, Hombeline had led a secular life, but upon hearing her brother's eloquent sermons, she was inspired to join the convent. However, her attachment to worldly possessions proved a challenge to her spiritual growth. Bernard's intervention was a turning point in her journey towards holiness. This poignant scene serves as a reminder of the importance of detachment from material possessions in the pursuit of a spiritual life. The print, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, transports us back to the hallowed grounds of Clairvaux Abbey, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the monastic tradition and the enduring legacy of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.
