EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print by Hans Burgkmair, titled "St. Iduberge helping lepers" transports us to a time of great suffering and compassion. The image depicts the saint herself, St. Iduberge, reaching out to aid those afflicted with leprosy. In this powerful scene, we witness the saint's unwavering dedication as she tends to the sick and marginalized individuals banished from society due to their disease. With her gentle touch and kind eyes, St. Iduberge offers solace and support to these unfortunate souls. The woodcut technique adds depth and texture to the print, emphasizing the stark reality of their situation. We can almost feel the weight of their poverty through every line etched into the paper. Amidst a backdrop of atrophied limbs and pustules that mark this devastating illness, there is a glimmer of hope in St. Iduberge's presence. Her selfless act of charity reminds us that even in times of epidemic or contagion, humanity can rise above fear and exclusion. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that health should never be taken for granted nor used as a means for discrimination. It speaks volumes about our shared responsibility towards one another's well-being. As we gaze upon this historic masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let it inspire us all to extend kindness towards those who are suffering - just like St. Iduberge did centuries ago.
