EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Miracle of the Profanation of the Host" showcases an oil painting on panel created by the French School in the 15th century. Housed at Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Saumur, France, this artwork depicts a significant event with historical and religious implications. Intriguingly, the painting portrays a Jewish pawnbroker attempting to cook a wafer believed to be consecrated during Holy Communion. This act was intended to test if it behaved like a real body. The legend surrounding this incident is deeply rooted in anti-Semitic sentiments prevalent during that era. The consequences for such an act were severe, as depicted in this powerful image. The Jewish man was burnt at the stake for his alleged desecration of the sacrament. Surrounding him are soldiers and members of the church witnessing this miraculous event unfold. Aside from its historical significance, this artwork also highlights architectural elements through its depiction of a stone church and public monument. It serves as both an artistic representation and a reminder of religious tensions between different faiths during that time period. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes related to religion, Judaism, orthodoxy, and religious persecution while appreciating its intricate details and skillful execution by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
