St Michael of Belgium by J. J. Shannon - A Symbol of Faith and Resilience in the Midst of War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of "St Michael of Belgium" by J. J. Shannon, a renowned Anglo-American artist from the early 20th century. Painted in 1914 during the tumultuous times of World War One, this artwork holds significant historical value as it appeared in a book supporting King Albert of Belgium after Germany's invasion. The painting depicts St Michael, adorned in traditional armor and holding a flag with a Christian cross, symbolizing his role as a protector and defender against evil forces. As an embodiment of courage and faith, St Michael stands tall amidst the chaos brought upon by war. Shannon's masterful brushwork brings to life every intricate detail – from the mesh size on his armor to the plate armor that adorns him. The composition exudes strength and determination while evoking emotions tied to religious devotion. In this image, we witness not only an artistic masterpiece but also a powerful representation of Belgian resilience during one of history's darkest periods. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and suffering, faith can provide solace and hope for those affected. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us reflect on its significance within both art history and world events. It reminds us that even when faced with adversity, our shared values can unite us all – regardless of nationality or religion – just like St Michael stood beside King Albert during these trying times.
