EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century French woodcut print depicts the story of St. Genevieve of Brabant, a noblewoman from the 8th century who faced a harrowing accusation of adultery. According to legend, Genevieve's husband, Palatine Siegfried, believed false rumors about her infidelity and banished her to the forest as punishment. For five long years, Genevieve wandered alone in the wilderness until one fateful day when fate intervened. While out hunting, Siegfried stumbled upon his wife and finally recognized her innocence. Overwhelmed with guilt and remorse for his hasty judgment, he begged for forgiveness and acknowledged her purity. The scene captured in this woodcut is a powerful depiction of love, redemption, and faith prevailing over adversity. The vibrant colors bring to life the emotions of betrayal, despair, reconciliation, and ultimately joy as husband and wife are reunited against all odds. St. Genevieve's story serves as a timeless reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that true love endures even in the face of doubt and hardship. This print not only showcases exquisite artistry but also conveys a profound message about trust, forgiveness, and the resilience of the human spirit.
