EDITORS COMMENTS
This glazed tiles panel depicts the childhood of Saint John Bosco (1815-1888), an Italian priest and educator, whose life and work continue to inspire and influence the world today. Born in Turin, Italy, Bosco dedicated his life to the education and welfare of children, particularly those who were disadvantaged or at risk. The panel showcases a group of children, including a boy and a girl, engaged in various childish activities, reflecting the innocence and joy of their youth. The saint, portrayed as a young man, is shown in the center, surrounded by the children, imparting his wisdom and guidance. The colorful and intricate design of the tiles enhances the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the scene. Bosco's belief in the potential of every child, regardless of their background or circumstances, was a revolutionary concept during his time. He founded the Salesian Order, a religious congregation dedicated to the education and spiritual development of young people, which has grown into a global network of schools, colleges, and educational institutions. This panel is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint John Bosco, whose influence extends beyond Italy and the Catholic Church. His hagiography, or the body of stories and legends surrounding his life, continues to be a source of inspiration for educators, religious leaders, and believers around the world. The panel's vertical and upright orientation, reminiscent of a book or a series of books, further emphasizes the importance of knowledge and learning in Bosco's life and work. In summary, this glazed tiles panel is a beautiful and evocative representation of the childhood of Saint John Bosco, an Italian priest and educator whose influence on the world of education and spiritual development continues to be felt today.
