About the Item
Ermite - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Hermit
This 1862 hand-colored lithograph features an Ermite, or Hermit, a figure embodying spiritual solitude and asceticism. The hermit is shown in a brown hooded robe, tied with a simple rope belt, and holding a staff and a cross—symbols of guidance and faith. Sandals and a rugged background highlight his detachment from material possessions and closeness to nature.
Hermits, or eremites, trace their origins to the early Christian tradition, with figures like Saint Anthony of Egypt retreating to the desert to live in prayer, solitude, and contemplation. Such a life was considered a direct path to communion with God. While eremitic life was more prominent in the Middle Ages, hermits still exist today, particularly within Catholicism, following a life of prayer and simplicity in secluded areas around the world.
This lithograph, part of the Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome, was crafted by the artist G. Perugini. It provides a visual narrative of the hermit's ascetic lifestyle, preserving the spirit and tradition of eremitic devotion. An ideal piece for collectors of religious art, monastic traditions, and historical prints.
Translation of Introduction Text:
A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an even more profound interest to the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism would be born, grow, develop, and establish itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city above all others.
Virgil, in a truly prophetic verse, said: "Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento." This prophecy has seen the most noble, illustrious, and glorious developments, all conspiring for the eternal city's glory: its history, arts, monuments, and the religion at its core. Yet no other city offers such a collection, from the monuments of Augustus to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII, from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs' shrines. This union of grandeur is further illustrated daily by the magnificence of Catholic rites.
With this album, we present the splendid costumes of the Papal dignitaries and the humble attire of religious orders. These costumes were inspired by the traditions handed down through centuries and were designed with unique precision by the talented artist G. Perugini.
