EDITORS COMMENTS
Pieter de Grebber's masterpiece, "The Four Church Fathers Discuss the Lord's Supper," is a captivating 17th-century artwork that invites viewers to delve into the depths of Christian theology. This black and white drawing, executed in grey wash on paper, showcases the intellectual discourse between four prominent early Christian figures: Saint Jerome, Pope Damasus I, Saint Augustine, and Saint Gregory the Great. The scene unfolds in a serene setting, with the church fathers gathered around a table laden with books and other symbols of learning. A cherub and putto, embodying innocence and purity, look on from above, while a lion and an eagle, representing the evangelists Mark and John, flank the table. At the center of the composition, Saint Jerome, with his distinctive red cardinal's hat and a book in hand, engages in a passionate debate with his fellow church fathers. Pope Damasus I, depicted in papal regalia, listens intently, while Saint Augustine and Saint Gregory the Great lean in to contribute their insights. The Miracle of the Host, a significant event in Christian history, is the subject of their discussion. This miracle, which is believed to have occurred during the Council of Trent, involved the host appearing to bleed during the consecration of the Eucharist. This powerful artwork, which is now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Dutch Golden Age and the enduring influence of the Roman Catholic Church on European culture.
