EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century Serbian School painting, titled "Communion of Saint Mary of Egypt," depicts a pivotal moment in the life of one of Christianity's most revered saints. Saint Mary of Egypt, an Egyptian penitent and desert dweller, is shown here in a humble yet profound encounter with Saint Zosimus, a monk from Palestine. The scene takes place in the 4th century, with Mary having spent decades in the desert in penance and isolation, only to be discovered by Zosimas when she miraculously appeared before him while he was on a pilgrimage. In this painting, Mary is depicted as a repentant sinner, dressed in tattered clothing and with a contrite expression, as she receives the Eucharist from Zosimas, who is shown in a respectful and reverent stance. The painting's rich colors and intricate details bring the story to life, with Mary and Zosimas standing before a golden chalice or goblet, surrounded by the arid landscape of Egypt's desert. This artwork is a testament to the enduring legacy of religious art and the power of redemption, and can be found in the collections of the Petit Palais Museum in Paris.
