EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a striking portrait of St. Simon, created by the talented Wilhelm Kandler in the mid-late 19th century. The image beautifully captures the essence of this revered saint, known for his martyrdom and unwavering faith. In this depiction, St. Simon is portrayed as a solemn yet resolute figure, holding his identifying attribute - a saw. It serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal manner in which he met his fate: being sawn in half for his dedication to Christianity. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From St. Simon's barefoot appearance to his intense gaze fixed upon something beyond our view, each element adds depth and complexity to the portrayal. Studying intently, we see that St. Simon holds an open book before him, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom inherent within religious texts. This visual representation emphasizes the importance of literature and learning within Christian teachings. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of Victorian aesthetics, this engraving exudes both elegance and reverence towards its subject matter. Through masterful use of color and shading techniques, Kandler brings forth an ethereal quality that further enhances our connection with St. Simon's spiritual journey. As we contemplate this remarkable artwork from centuries past, it serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and devotion exemplified by individuals like St. Simon throughout history.
