Journey of Devotion: Capuchin Lay Brother in Action, Lithograph, Published 1862

About the Item

Journey of Devotion: Capuchin Lay Brother in Action, Plate 47 This captivating 19th-century lithograph from *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome* features a lay brother of the Capuchin order. His brown habit, knotted cord, and humble sandals emphasize his dedication to a life of simplicity and service. The brother is portrayed in motion, carrying provisions—a sack over his shoulder and a basket featuring intricate religious symbols—highlighting his role in assisting the poor and supporting his community. The figure’s rugged demeanor, with a beard and resolute expression, encapsulates the essence of Capuchin humility and hard work. The muted background draws focus to his action and symbolism, making this lithograph a testament to the enduring spirit of faith and compassion. Historical Context: The Capuchins, a branch of the Franciscan order, were established in 1528 and are renowned for their emphasis on poverty and charity. Lay brothers, while not ordained, often fulfilled essential tasks within the order, including manual labor and caregiving. This image reflects their practical devotion, as they carried out Christ’s teachings through action rather than ceremony. Provenance: Lithographed by A. Lemaître in Paris and illustrated by G. Perugini, this piece is part of a broader collection documenting the diversity of ecclesiastical attire and roles within the Catholic Church during the 1800s. Plate 47 captures the selfless ethos of the Capuchin lay brother, immortalizing their enduring contributions to society.
