Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) was a renowned theologian and the founder of the Order of the Cistercians. He played a significant role in organizing the Second Crusade alongside King Louis VII (1120-1180), which took place from 1145 to 1149. In various depictions, we see scenes from Saint Bernard's life and his spiritual journey. One such portrayal shows him in eremitic solitude, reminiscent of Saint Jerome's desert hermitage in Syria, and is said that during this time, the Virgin Mary appeared to him, offering divine guidance. Another painting showcases St. Bernard with St. Thomas Aquinas during the Nativity scene, highlighting their importance as influential figures within Christianity. The mystical vision experienced by St. Bernard is captured on canvas in a seventeenth-century artwork, emphasizing his deep connection with spirituality and divine revelations. One notable event associated with St. Bernard is his preaching of the Second Crusade at Vezelay, where he rallied support for reclaiming Jerusalem from Muslim control. Additionally, there are depictions showing King Louis VII taking up the oriflame at Basilica of Saint Denis under St. Bernard's watchful gaze. This symbolized his commitment to leading France into battle during the crusade. Stained glass windows portray several saints including John the Baptist, George, Lucy, Catherine along with St. Bernard himself - showcasing his esteemed position among these revered figures. During the Council of Reims in 1148, St. Bernard played an essential role as an influential voice shaping church policies and decisions. Lastly depicted is Christ himself embracing Saint Bernard as a sign of their profound spiritual connection and shared mission within Christianity. Throughout history and artistry alike; whether through organizing crusades or engaging in deep prayerful contemplation; Saint Bernard remains an enduring figure whose legacy continues to inspire generations seeking spiritual enlightenment and devotion.
