Apostle, pilgrim and martyr · Saint James
Goya, Dürer, Rembrandt and Fra Angelico show James the Greater as an apostle of the Virgin, martyr, pilgrim and actor in miraculous stories.
The name of Saint James mainly covers James the Greater, son of Zebedee and brother of John, but also James the Less. Western tradition associates the Major with Compostela and pilgrimage. Shell, bumblebee, coat and hat become his attributes. Goya represents the appearance of the Virgin of Pilar to James and his disciples in Zaragoza, the founding story of Spanish devotion. Dürer and Zurbaran stage his martyrdom, recalling that he was one of the first executed apostles. Rembrandt constructs a human and meditative portrait, while Fra Angelico recounts the release of the magician Hermogenes. The collection therefore alternates sacred conversation, apostle portrait, miracle and torture. The "Saint Jacques" selection notably compares Apparition of the Virgin of the Pilar to Saint Jacques - Francisco de Goya and Martyrdom of Saint Jacques the Greater - Albrecht Dürer. Its reading favors atmosphere.
James is at the same time the apostle of the book, the martyr of Jerusalem and the pilgrim whose shell opens a road to Compostela.
