This stunning woodcut print from the 19th century depicts a powerful moment in the life of St. Martin, Bishop of Tours. Known for his acts of charity and compassion, St. Martin founded the first monastery in France at Liguge near Poitiers around 360 AD.
In this scene, we see St. Martin giving his military cloak to a beggar on the street. This act of kindness and generosity symbolizes the saint's dedication to helping those less fortunate than himself. The beggar, with a look of gratitude on his face, reaches out to receive this gift that will provide warmth and protection.
The intricate details and vibrant colors in this woodcut bring this historical moment to life, capturing the essence of St. Martin's selfless spirit and devotion to serving others. The halo above his head signifies his status as a revered figure in Christian history.
