EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts Gertrud van Oosten, a Dutch servant-girl from Ostend, who lived during the 14th century. Gertrud's life took an extraordinary turn when she claimed to have experienced the stigmata, the mystical wounds that correspond to the crucifixion of Christ, in 1355. Her experiences gained widespread attention and she was eventually admitted into the Cistercian monastery of Herkenrode in present-day Belgium. Gertrud's story is shrouded in mystery and controversy, as some believed her to be a fraud, while others saw her as a genuine mystic. Her claims of stigmatization were not unheard of during this period, as there were several reported cases of individuals in Europe who experienced similar phenomena. However, Gertrud's case was unique in that she was a servant-girl, and her experiences were documented in detail by contemporary writers. The image of Gertrud van Oosten shows her in contemplative prayer, her eyes closed and her hands in the traditional position of supplication. The wounds on her hands and feet are visible, adding to the solemnity of the scene. The artist has skillfully captured the intensity of Gertrud's devotion and the otherworldly quality of her experiences. Despite the debates surrounding her authenticity, Gertrud van Oosten's story continues to captivate scholars and spiritual seekers alike. Her life serves as a reminder of the profound spiritual experiences that have been reported throughout history, and the enduring allure of the mystical and the divine.
