Saint Christopher Taking Leave of the King Who Feared Satan - A Powerful Display of Faith and Conversion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in religious history. Painted by MartAin de Soria between 1480-85, "Saint Christopher Taking Leave of the King Who Feared Satan" is a testament to the power of faith and conversion. The scene unfolds with Saint Christopher, a towering figure exuding strength and devotion, bidding farewell to a fearful king. The king's trepidation is palpable as he contemplates his encounter with Satan. Yet, it is through Saint Christopher's unwavering conviction that hope begins to blossom within him. Surrounding them are converts - men and women who have found solace in their newfound Christian beliefs. Their presence serves as a reminder that faith transcends gender boundaries; both female and male followers stand united under the banner of Christianity. Deftly executed using tempera with oil glazes on panel, this masterpiece captures not only the physicality but also the spiritual essence of its subjects. Every brushstroke conveys emotion - from fear etched upon faces to determination shining through eyes. Housed at The Art Institute of Chicago since its acquisition by Mrs. Chauncey McCormick, this painting continues to inspire awe and reverence among viewers today. It stands as an enduring symbol of courage in the face of adversity and serves as a timeless reminder that even kings can find salvation through faith.
