EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of ancient legend and religious devotion. In the image, we see Etienne, a legendary King of Burgundy, embarking on a pilgrimage to St. Victor of Marseilles. Clutched in his hands is the revered Cross of St. Andrew, which he carries as an expression of gratitude to St. Mary Magdalene. The story behind this fabled origin unfolds with miraculous undertones. It is said that both Etienne and his mother were raised from the dead by none other than St. Mary Magdalene herself. To show their appreciation for this divine intervention, Etienne journeys to present the Cross of St. Andrew to St. Victor. What makes this image even more intriguing is its historical significance - the cross carried by Etienne later becomes an emblem on the shield of the House of Burgundy, forever intertwining faith and royalty in medieval times. Taken from a 15th-century manuscript called "Chroniques De Bourgogne" this miniature illustration transports us back to an era where tales like these held great importance in shaping cultural identity and beliefs. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Ken Welsh, we are reminded not only of our rich medieval heritage but also how art can beautifully preserve stories that have shaped our history for centuries.
