EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila" transports us back to the 16th century in France. The print showcases two revered figures of Catholicism, Saint John of the Cross and Saint Teresa of Avila, whose lives were marked by profound spirituality and devotion. In this intricate artwork, we see St. John holding a rosary while gazing intently at St. Teresa, who is depicted as a nun with her hands clasped in prayer. Their expressions convey a deep sense of contemplation and connection with the divine. The presence of a vision is suggested by the dove hovering above them, symbolizing the Holy Spirit's guidance and inspiration that both saints experienced throughout their lives. The crucifix on an altar further emphasizes their unwavering faith in Christ. Both St. John and St. Teresa were prominent members of the Carmelite order known for their mysticism and writings on spiritual matters. They dedicated themselves to seeking union with God through intense prayer and self-sacrifice. This engraving serves as a testament to their enduring legacy as Christian authors, writers, poets, religious leaders, and mystics who continue to inspire countless individuals today. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print offers us a glimpse into these extraordinary souls' spiritual journey while reminding us of our own quest for deeper meaning in life.
