EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable mural of "St. Bavo and St. Amalberga of Maubeuge" from the crypt of St. Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium. Created by the Flemish School between 1480 and 1540, this fresco is a true masterpiece that exudes both beauty and spirituality. In this artwork, we see two revered saints depicted with great detail and reverence. St. Bavo stands tall, holding a sword symbolizing his noble origins before devoting himself to a life of faith. His gaze is focused yet gentle, emanating a sense of wisdom acquired through his spiritual journey. Beside him stands St. Amalberga, also known as Amalia or Amelia of Lobbes or Binche—a female saint who defied societal norms by becoming a nun instead of marrying as expected during her time period. Clutching a Bible close to her heart and leaning on her staff for support, she represents strength and devotion in the face of adversity. The artist's skillful use of color and intricate details bring these figures to life within their sacred surroundings. The mural transports viewers back in time, allowing them to witness these holy figures' unwavering dedication firsthand. This print serves as an exquisite reminder not only of the artistic talent prevalent during the Flemish Renaissance but also highlights the enduring power that religious icons hold over our collective imagination throughout history.
