EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil on canvas painting depicts Saint Joseph Calasanz (1556-1648), a renowned Spanish religious figure and pedagogue. Born in Ribarroja de Calasanz, Aragon, Calasanz dedicated his life to education and the founding of the Piarist Order, also known as the School Brothers of the Pious Schools. Calasanz is shown here in his clerical robes, with a serious and contemplative expression, reflecting his deep commitment to his faith and his mission to educate the youth of his time. The painting, created by Francisco Jover y Casanova (1836-1890), masterfully captures the saint's solemnity and piety. Calasanz's legacy extends beyond Spain, as his educational methods and the Piarist Order spread throughout Europe and the Americas. He is revered as the patron saint of teachers, students, and schools, and his feast day is celebrated on March 15th. This stunning artwork not only serves as a testament to Calasanz's sanctity and dedication to education but also as a reminder of the profound impact one person can have on the lives of countless others. The intricate details of the painting, from the folds of Calasanz's robes to the texture of the canvas, transport us back in time and allow us to connect with this remarkable figure from history.
