EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "St Christopher, patron saint of travellers, carrying the infant Christ across the river" depicts a scene from German School in the 19th century. The artwork showcases St Christopher, known as the protector of travelers, wading through a river while carrying the baby Jesus on his shoulders. The image is taken from Festkalender in Bildern und Liedern (Herderische Verlagshandlung, Freiburg im Breisgau, 1886), adding historical significance to its portrayal. The artist's attention to detail is evident in their depiction of lush trees and botanical elements surrounding the figures. Symbolically rich and deeply rooted in Christian tradition, this print represents themes of faith and protection. St Christopher's unwavering strength and devotion are highlighted as he carries the weight of Christ across treacherous waters. The presence of both a saintly figure and an innocent child evokes feelings of safety and guidance for those embarking on journeys or facing challenges. This engraving serves as a reminder that even amidst uncertainty, there are higher powers watching over us. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection with Fine Art Finder. Its inclusion offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its cultural significance within religious iconography.
