Saint Bonaventure Arriving and Preaching in Lyon, 1480-1490 - A Glimpse into Medieval Christian Devotion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-colored woodcut print transports us back to the 15th century, offering a window into the religious fervor of the Middle Ages. The scene depicts Saint Bonaventure, an influential Franciscan theologian and philosopher, arriving in Lyon to deliver a powerful sermon. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of vermilion orange, rose, light and dark gray blue, and lavender hues that bring life to this historic artwork. Amidst a congregation of men and women from all walks of life, Saint Bonaventure stands at the center with his hands raised in prayerful exaltation. His presence commands attention as he passionately shares his message of faith. Intriguing elements such as dice scattered on the ground symbolize renunciation of worldly desires while prayer beads - both rosary beads and bonnet strings adorned with small crosses - highlight the importance of devotion within medieval Christianity. The Virgin Mary watches over this sacred gathering alongside angels hovering above; their ethereal presence adds an otherworldly touch to this spiritual tableau. As we contemplate this print from the National Gallery of Art Washington's collection without knowing its creator's name or purpose behind its creation, we are reminded that art transcends time and place. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for meaning beyond our mortal existence
