EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of St Boniface, with his bust elegantly framed in an oval to the left. The image beautifully captures the essence of this revered saint, known for his significant contributions as the apostle of Germany and archbishop of Mainz. In this portrayal, St Boniface is depicted carrying a miter on his head, symbolizing his high ecclesiastical rank. His right hand firmly grasps a bishop's staff, representing his authority and leadership within the church. The artist has also incorporated several possible attributes associated with St Boniface throughout history. One such attribute is an ax embedded in the root of a tree, signifying his role in cutting down pagan sacred trees during his missionary work. Another notable attribute is a book pierced by a sword, symbolizing both knowledge and martyrdom. Interestingly, beneath St Boniface's staff springs forth a fountain or spring - perhaps alluding to miraculous events or divine intervention attributed to him during his lifetime. The print bears the name "Jacques Kuyper" possibly indicating either the artist or publisher responsible for creating this exquisite piece in 1783. Crafted using paper and letterpress printing techniques, it measures approximately 70mm in height and 51mm in width. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill employed but also serves as a reminder of St Boniface's enduring legacy as one of Christianity's most influential figures.
