Postcard St. Martin’s lantern

The postcard “St. Martin’s Laterne” by Marjan van Zeyl shows an atmospheric scene around the feast of St Martin. In glowing, warm colours, a child proudly carries their lantern through the early dusk – a shining symbol of light, warmth and community in the darkening season. The lovingly painted scene recalls the tradition of lantern processions and the story of Saint Martin, captured here in a particularly child-friendly and poetic way.

A little work of art for the autumn – inspiring, rich in symbolism and beautifully illustrated.
