EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Willibrord, a revered figure in both Dutch and European history, is depicted in this exquisite 17th-century pen and brown ink and brush and brown wash drawing by Abraham Bloemaert. Dated around 1625-1630, the artwork showcases the Anglo-Saxon saint in his bishop's apparel, seated in a contemplative pose. Born in Northumbria, England, in the 8th century, Willibrord was a missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in the Low Countries, particularly among the Frisians. His efforts were instrumental in establishing the diocese of Utrecht, making him the first bishop of the city. Bloemaert masterfully captures the essence of Saint Willibrord's character and piety in this drawing. The bishop is shown wearing the traditional clerical clothing of the time, including a long, flowing robe, a cape, and a mitre adorned with crosses. His serious expression and the gentle curve of his hands suggest a deep connection with his faith. The artwork's intricate details, such as the textured fabric of the robe and the delicate folds of the cape, demonstrate Bloemaert's exceptional drafting skills. The use of pen and ink drawing, combined with brown wash and opaque white water, adds depth and contrast to the image. This drawing is an essential addition to any collection of European religious art, showcasing the Mannerist style that was popular during the 17th century in the Netherlands. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Willibrord and the artistic prowess of Abraham Bloemaert.
