EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length depiction of Saint Valerian, created by the Master of Brunswick around 1490-1500, is the left wing of a triptych. Valerianus, a third-century Roman soldier and bishop, is shown standing in an architectural niche, surrounded by an intricate archway. The saint is holding a sword, symbolizing his martyrdom, and a garland of roses. The roses are an allusion to the flowers with which the angel crowned him in recognition of his chaste life. The use of rich colors and the careful attention to detail in the depiction of the saint's clothing, the garland of roses, and the architectural features, demonstrate the artist's mastery of oil painting on panel. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the devotional culture of the Low Countries during the fifteenth century, and is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. The scene is reminiscent of biblical stories and religious art, and is a reminder of the importance of faith, chastity, and the enduring power of art to inspire and uplift.
