EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "St. Martin and the Beggar" created around 1440 by an unknown artist from the 15th century. The piece, measuring 43x28.5 cm, is a distemper oil on textile, most likely linen. The image depicts St. Martin, a Christian soldier serving in the Roman army during 4th century Gaul. In an act of extraordinary compassion and generosity, he divides his cloak with a sword to share it with a beggar. This selfless act led him to become Bishop of Tours in AD372. Believed to be part of a church processional banner or attached to a processional cross, this fabric may have been used by the Worshipful Company of Drapers in London. It carries immense historical significance as it represents medieval beliefs and acts of charity amidst hardship. The painting beautifully captures St. Martin's haloed figure alongside the destitute beggar, symbolizing kindness and sacrifice for those less fortunate. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring forth emotions tied to poverty and empathy. Currently housed at the Society of Antiquaries of London in the UK, this remarkable artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, acts of compassion transcended boundaries and inspired others to lend aid to those facing adversity.
