EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Martin with his Horse in a Ship" is a captivating engraving from the 16th century, created by the Flemish artists Lucas van Doetecum and his father Johannes van Doetecum I. This masterpiece, dated around 1561, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Doetecum family during the Baroque era. The image depicts Saint Martin, the legendary Roman soldier turned Bishop, in a remarkable scene. He is shown riding his horse on a small boat, surrounded by other boats and ships in the background. Saint Martin is known for his act of kindness and generosity, as he is said to have cut his cloak in half to share it with a beggar, revealing Christ in disguise. In this print, the horse pulls back the cloak, revealing the beggar, or Christ, beneath. The intricate details of the engraving are truly noteworthy. The grotesque, almost fantastical, depiction of the horses and ships adds a sense of whimsy and wonder to the religious scene. The use of monochrome, with its bold lines and contrasts, adds to the overall impact of the artwork. This engraving, with its unique blend of the religious and the fantastical, is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, particularly those with a focus on the Baroque era or Christianity. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. Lucas van Doetecum and Johannes van Doetecum I were prominent artists from Flanders during the 16th century. Their collaboration on this print showcases their exceptional skills in etching and engraving on paper. The image is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the past and the enduring power of art to inspire and delight.
