Description

Yvette saved from Acedia
16 x 20 Oil / Acrylic on canvas

Stretcher depth: 1.5 inches

From the Anchoreta collection. One Anchoress, Yvette of Huy felt a sense of Acedia or spiritual sloth eating away at her, so much so she dedicated herself to caring for those with Leprosy before finally taking her vows as an Anchoress. She found helping others in such pain also helped to heal her spiritual wounds.

*All Art of Melush paintings are not framed but are stretched and ready to hang. The painted image extends around the sides of the stretcher.
