EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print depicts Count Renier solemnly carrying the body of Saint Veronica through the streets of Mons, Belgium. This poignant moment is captured from a 15th-century miniature and showcases the rich history and religious devotion of the Middle Ages. In this remarkable scene, Count Renier can be seen leading a grand procession towards St. Waudru church, accompanied by clergy members and surrounded by onlookers. The weight of his responsibility is evident as he carefully cradles the sacred remains in a beautifully adorned casket. Saint Veronica holds great significance in Christian tradition as she is believed to have wiped the face of Jesus during his journey to Calvary, leaving an imprint of his visage on her veil. The veneration bestowed upon her relics underscores their importance within medieval society. The image not only captures the physical act of bearing Saint Veronica's body but also symbolizes reverence for faith and devotion. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and learn from the profound spiritual practices that shaped our past. This stunning lithograph, published in London around 1880 by Paul Lacroix, offers us a glimpse into both military and religious life during this period. Its historical value combined with its artistic beauty makes it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to exploring medieval culture.
