EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we catch a glimpse of "The Ecstasy of St. Gregory" through the eyes of Deacon Peter. The artwork, created by the Flemish School in the 12th century, is housed in the Bibliotheque Royale de Belgique in Brussels, Belgium. Through a curtain pierced by his stylet, Deacon Peter peers into a world filled with divine inspiration. The image depicts St. Gregory (c. 540-604), known as the Father of the Latin Church, experiencing an otherworldly rapture while writing his sacred texts. A dove gracefully perches on St. Gregory's shoulder, symbolizing the presence of the Holy Ghost and reinforcing his connection to heavenly realms. This ethereal detail adds depth to our understanding of St. Gregory's writings and their spiritual significance. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it becomes clear that Deacon Peter plays a unique role - that of an observer who witnesses not only St. Gregory's ecstasy but also gains insight into his profound revelations. The juxtaposition between light and shadow enhances our intrigue as we witness Deacon Peter peering through a small hole in secrecy - perhaps acting as both scribe and spy simultaneously. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows us to delve into medieval times where manuscripts were meticulously crafted with stylus on vellum tablets; where spirituality intertwined seamlessly with artistry; where moments like these were captured for eternity.
