EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Saint Pepin I and his daughter, Saint Begga," dates back to the 17th century and is an anonymous work of art from the Antwerp school. The image depicts Saint Pepin I, also known as Pepin of Landen or Pepin the Elder, a Frankish nobleman and the father of Saint Begga, who is shown beside him. Pepin is dressed in the attire of a medieval nobleman, wearing a long tunic and a cloak, while his daughter, Begga, is depicted as a young woman in a flowing gown, holding a book and a rosary. The etching is believed to be a reverse copy of a painting by the renowned Flemish artist, Pierre Paul Rubens, or one of his followers. The composition, lighting, and details in the etching closely resemble Rubens' style, adding to its historical significance. The image is a poignant representation of the bond between a father and his daughter, highlighting the importance of family and faith in the Christian tradition. The etching has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and is a valuable addition to the heritage of European art. The intricacies of the lines and the subtle shading in the etching bring the figures to life, making it a fascinating piece to study and appreciate. The image of Saint Pepin I and his daughter, Saint Begga, is a testament to the enduring influence of Rubens' art and the rich cultural heritage of the 17th century.
