EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Martin of Tours Healing the Servant of Tetrodius" is a captivating artwork created by the renowned Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens around 1630. This masterpiece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Jordaens' exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the Baroque era. The painting depicts Saint Martin of Tours, the fourth-century bishop of Tours, France, performing a miraculous healing. The saint is shown in the center, dressed in his ecclesiastical robes and holding both his pastoral staff and bishop's crook. The crook, a traditional symbol of his bishopric, is also used as a tool for healing in this scene. Surrounding Saint Martin are a group of people, including the servant of Tetrodius, who is being cured. The servant, with a look of relief and gratitude, extends his hand towards the saint. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details adds to the pastoral and religious atmosphere of the artwork. Jordaens' mastery of various mediums is evident in this piece, as it was created using a combination of black chalk, gouache, and color. The artist's ability to capture the emotions and expressions of the figures, as well as the intricate details of their clothing and surroundings, is truly remarkable. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of Christian art and the enduring influence of the Baroque era. The National Gallery of Art is fortunate to have this beautiful piece in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the artistic talent of Jacob Jordaens and the historical significance of the story of Saint Martin of Tours.
