EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic St. Teresa of Avila, a prominent figure in Catholicism during the 16th century. Painted by Juan de la Miseria, also known as Juan Narduck, this oil on canvas masterpiece from 1570 beautifully captures the essence of St. Teresa's spiritual journey. The image depicts St. Teresa in her signature discalced Carmelite habit, symbolizing her dedication to a life of poverty and simplicity. With closed eyes and folded hands, she is shown deep in prayer, connecting with her faith and communing with God. St. Teresa's serene expression exudes tranquility and devotion while a dove hovers above her head—a powerful symbol of peace and divine presence. This representation emphasizes St. Teresa's close relationship with God and her role as an intermediary between heaven and earth. Located at the Convent of Saint Teresa in Avila, Spain, this artwork holds historical significance within its walls where countless devotees have sought solace over centuries.
