EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the handover of the canonization bubble of St. Thomas Aquinas by Pope John XXII to the Dominicans on July 18,1323 in Avignon. The drawing, skillfully created by Lecoultre for the Pelerin magazine in 1923, beautifully portrays this sacred event. In this solemn scene, Pope John XXII (John XII) is seen presenting the precious canonization bubble to members of the Dominican religious order. The pope's regal presence exudes authority and reverence as he entrusts them with this symbol of sanctification. St. Thomas Aquinas, one of Christianity's most influential theologians and philosophers, is honored through this act. The image transports us back to medieval times when faith played a central role in people's lives. It offers a glimpse into an era characterized by deep religious devotion and intellectual pursuits. Lecoultre's masterful engraving technique brings out intricate details such as facial expressions and flowing robes, adding depth and dimension to the artwork. The monochromatic color palette enhances its timeless quality while capturing every nuance with precision. As we contemplate this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and how it has shaped our world throughout centuries past. This remarkable piece serves as both a testament to human spirituality and an artistic treasure that continues to inspire awe today.
