EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the image of Saint Gestin (Yestin, Istan or Jestin), son of Geraint, a Welsh monk from Anglesey in the 6th century. The illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith and brought to life by Robert Havell showcases St. Geraint wearing a cope fastened with fibula, a short mantle, and tunic while holding a staff. In the background, we see a Celtic cross in the village of Carew, Pembrokeshire.
Saint Gestin is depicted as a figure of great reverence and piety, embodying the spiritual devotion of his time. As the son of Geraint ab Erbin, a prince of the Devonshire Britons and celebrated naval hero, he carries on his family's legacy with grace and humility.
The hand-colored aquatint adds depth and richness to this historical portrayal, bringing out every intricate detail in St. Gestin's attire and surroundings. This artwork is not just a visual delight but also serves as an important historical document showcasing the traditional clothing worn by inhabitants of British Islands during that era.
Overall, this print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a window into the past that allows us to appreciate and understand the cultural heritage of Wales in the 6th century.
