EDITORS COMMENTS
The Defenders of the Eucharist," painted by the renowned Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens around 1625, is a captivating and intricately detailed masterpiece housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. This grand group portrait showcases seven prominent figures of the Catholic Church, united in their defense of the doctrine of the Eucharist. From left to right, we find Saint Ambrose, Saint Augustine, and Saint Gregory the Great, revered as Doctors of the Church for their significant contributions to Christian theology. Next to them stands Saint Clare of Assisi, the founder of the Poor Clares, known for her deep devotion to the Eucharist. The following figures include Saint Thomas Aquinas, a renowned theologian and Doctor of the Church, and Saint Norbert, the founder of the Premonstratensian Order. Lastly, we encounter Saint Jerome, the renowned scholar and Doctor of the Church, who is depicted with a lion, symbolizing his strength and learning. Each figure is depicted with a unique expression, conveying their deep commitment to the defense of the Eucharist, an essential tenet of Catholicism. The saints are adorned in rich vestments, with Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Jerome holding open books, symbolizing their intellectual prowess. The painting is further embellished with cherubs, angels, and intricate columns, adding to the Baroque grandeur of the piece. The central focus is the Eucharistic host, protected by the saints and guarded by a custode, or custodia, symbolizing the Church's unwavering commitment to safeguarding the sacred doctrine of the Eucharist. This stunning work of art, with its intricate details and profound symbolism, serves as a testament to Rubens' mastery of the Baroque style and his deep reverence for the Catholic faith.
