Provenance: im Kinsky: April 21, 2009, lot 162; Private Collection, Knoxville, TennesseeNote:After the 15th century this legend is mostly known as the Vision of Saint Hubert (born c. 656, Toulouse- died 727 Tervuren) who was known as the “Apostle of the Ardennes”. Before the 15th century it was a story that was told regarding Placidus, a Roman soldier and the captain of the guards to Emperor Trajan. While hunting he chased a beautiful white stag until it turned and stood before him. A brilliant white crucifix appeared between his antlers and a voice spoke to the astonished and humbled Placidus, "Why dost thou pursue me? I am Christ, whom thou hast hitherto served without knowing me. Dost thou now believe? And Placidus fell with his face to the earth, and said O Lord, I believe! And the voice answered saying Thou shalt suffer many tribulations for my sake, many temptations; but be strong and of good courage, and I will not forsake thee." It was that moment of conversion that his name was changed to St. Eustache. In either case, this theme was popular and was a repeated composition in art throughout the centuries.
