EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "St Francis Xavier teaches the Japanese children their catechism" we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The renowned artist, Henry Justice Ford, beautifully captures the essence of this scene from the Book of Saints and Heroes edited by Andrew Lang. The image depicts St Francis Xavier, an apostle and missionary, imparting his wisdom upon a group of attentive Japanese children. With gentle gestures and a warm smile on his face, he engages them in their catechism lessons. As we gaze at this print, we can almost hear the soft whispers of prayers and teachings filling the air. This historical artwork not only showcases St Francis Xavier's dedication to spreading Christianity but also highlights the cultural exchange between East and West during that era. It serves as a reminder of how religion has transcended borders throughout centuries. Ford's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush or pen. From the intricate engravings on St Francis Xavier's robe to each child's unique expression, every element adds depth and authenticity to this powerful composition. As we admire this lithograph from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us appreciate its significance as both a piece of artistry and a window into an important chapter in religious history.
