EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning mid-19th century print captures an exquisite altar flanked by two revered figures - St. Louis and St. Theresa. The artwork, created by French artist Emile-Charles Wattier, showcases his exceptional talent in watercolour painting. The composition is a symmetrical masterpiece, with the golden cross at the center drawing our attention to the regal presence of King Louis IX, also known as St. Louis. Dressed in royal attire, he stands tall and proud, embodying both religious devotion and kingly authority. On either side of the altar stand two female figures - St. Theresa of Avila. Donned in flowing blue robes that beautifully contrast against the gold accents surrounding them, they exude grace and serenity. Wattier's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate decoration on the altar to the delicate features of each figure portrayed. The use of vibrant colors adds depth and richness to this religious scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to 19th-century France where religion played a significant role in society's fabric. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and spiritual devotion that flourished during this era. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this work by Emile-Charles Wattier continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and profound symbolism
