EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art, the Doors depicting scenes from the life of St. Adalbert (939-97). Created by the Polish School in the 12th century, these bronze doors can be found in Gniezno Cathedral, Poland. The intricate details and craftsmanship on display are truly awe-inspiring. The panels on these doors depict various significant moments from the life of St. Adalbert, a prominent figure in history. Known for his attempts to reform the clergy and his missionary work, he faced numerous challenges throughout his life. Expelled from his diocese and forced to withdraw to a monastery, he later returned to Rome before embarking on a mission to Hungary. Tragically, St. Adalbert met his untimely demise at the hands of a pagan priest while carrying out his missionary duties. Despite this tragic end, he left an indelible mark as an apostle of Prussia and bishop of Prague who evangelized Poles. Buried within Gniezno Cathedral itself, these doors serve as both a testament to St. Adalbert's legacy and as an exquisite work of art that has stood the test of time for centuries. Captured beautifully by Paul Maeyaert's lens, this print allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic brilliance behind this masterpiece from medieval times.
