Saint Germaine Cousin de Pibrac Antique Portrait Print with Under Glass Painting, 19th Century French Christian Art.
$204.00
A rare antique portrait of Saint Germaine Cousin de Pibrac dating from the 19th Century. It portrays the young Saint kneeling in prayer before a cross in a country setting in the company of her dog and flock of sheep. The portrait has been created from a print under glass which has been hand painted and colored with fine attention to detail. The underside of the glass has also been decorated with an ornate gold-tone floral border. It has been mounted in an elegant gold-tone wooden frame with a hanging cord attached to the reverse side.
Germaine Cousin (1579–1601) is a French saint born to humble parents in the village of Pibrac. She endured a difficult life suffering from illness, disability and an emotionally abusive family. She lived a devout and pious life in isolation as a shepherdess and died at the young age of 22 years. She is recognised as the patron Saint of abandoned people; abuse victims; against poverty; disabled people; girls from rural areas; illness; impoverishment; loss of parents; shepherdesses; sick people; unkind people; physical therapists
Of her, the Catholic Encyclopedia writes:
From her birth she seemed marked out for suffering; she came into the world with a deformed hand and the disease of scrofula, and, while yet an infant, lost her mother. Her father soon married again, but his second wife treated Germaine with much cruelty. Under pretence of saving the other children from the contagion of scrofula she persuaded the father to keep Germaine away from the homestead, and thus the child was employed almost from infancy as a shepherdess. When she returned at night, her bed was in the stable or on a litter of vine branches in a garret. In this hard school Germaine learned early to practise humility and patience. She was gifted with a marvellous sense of the presence of God and of spiritual things, so that her lonely life became to her a source of light and blessing... Her love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and for His Virgin Mother presaged the saint. She assisted daily at the Holy Sacrifice; when the bell rang, she fixed her sheep-hook or distaff in the ground, and left her flocks to the care of Providence while she heard Mass. Although the pasture was on the border of a forest infested with wolves, no harm ever came to her flocks.
