Anton Wierix (1552-1604) -The vision of Theresa of Avila
Est: €300 - €400
In 1572, when Teresa received communion from Juan de la Cruz, her spiritual adviser, she experienced a mystical ecstasy. In a vision, Christ appeared and showed her his right hand. "Look at this nail, it is the sign that you will be my bride," he said. In 1577, she wrote her famous mystical work, Castillo Interior (The Inner Fortress), in which she describes with great delicacy the mystical ascent in seven stages. In the print, we see how the vision takes place in the church. The life-sized Christ with the cross on his shoulder is accompanied at top left by two angels and God in a cloud formation. Important and somewhat larger size engraving amongst the work by this master.
