EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of medieval religious devotion. Depicting St Julian and his wife, St Basilissa, rowing a boat while conveying Christ, this 13th-century bas-relief is a powerful representation of faith and transport. The engraving, created in the 19th century by an unknown artist, showcases the intricate details of the original artwork found over the doorway of St Julien le Pauvre in Paris. The image transports us back to a time when Christianity played a central role in people's lives. Standing proudly in their boat, St Julian and St Basilissa symbolize unwavering dedication to their faith as they navigate through life's challenges with Jesus Christ at their side. This portrayal highlights not only their commitment but also serves as a reminder that even ordinary individuals can carry divine presence within them. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical piece, emphasizing its timeless significance. With water serving as both a geographical feature and symbolic element representing baptismal purification, it further reinforces the spiritual journey undertaken by these saints. As we gaze upon this print from The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of Renaissance by Paul LaCroix (London, 1870), we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for meaning and connection with something greater than ourselves. It invites contemplation on our own journeys through life's rivers while seeking guidance from higher powers along the way.
