EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases Saint John of Capistrano, a prominent figure in the 15th century. The image captures his commanding presence as an Italian Franciscan priest, inquisitor, and crusader. With a halo above his head and draped in majestic robes, Saint John stands tall with a flagstaff held firmly in hand. The lithograph is richly detailed, allowing us to appreciate the intricate design of his standard banner. It serves as a symbol of his unwavering dedication to Christianity during the tumultuous era of the Crusades. The artist masterfully captures both the strength and piety that defined this remarkable saint. Saint John's intense gaze suggests deep contemplation and devotion to his cause. In one hand he holds a book, representing knowledge and wisdom acquired through years of religious study. This portrayal highlights not only his role as an influential religious leader but also emphasizes the importance of education within Christian faith. Originally published in London around 1880 by Paul Lacroix, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into medieval times when military prowess intertwined with religious fervor. Preserved within private collections for decades, this artwork now finds its place among other historical treasures. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of Saint John's enduring legacy—a testament to courageously defending one's beliefs while striving for spiritual enlightenment amidst challenging circumstances.
