1503 Active Bank Child Christ Christian Christopher Cock Collection Creatures Crossing Filled Flemish Painter Private River Shoulder Strange Wood Bosch Hieronymous Reaches Reminiscent


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jan Wellen de Cock's masterpiece, "St Christopher Crossing the River". The painting depicts St Christopher wading through a river, carrying the Christ Child on his sturdy shoulders. As they reach the bank, an enchanting landscape unfolds before them, teeming with peculiar creatures reminiscent of Hieronymous Bosch's imaginative works. De Cock, an active Flemish painter during the early 16th century, skillfully captures this religious scene using oil on wood. The private collection that houses this artwork is fortunate to possess such a remarkable piece that exemplifies De Cock's talent and devotion to Christian themes. The composition exudes a sense of awe and wonder as St Christopher fulfills his sacred duty of carrying Jesus across treacherous waters. His unwavering determination is palpable in every brushstroke. Meanwhile, the surrounding landscape introduces us to a surreal world filled with strange creatures that seem to have sprung from Bosch's own imagination. This print not only serves as a visual testament to De Cock's artistic prowess but also invites contemplation about faith and spirituality. It reminds us of the enduring power of religious symbolism in art throughout history. Whether one appreciates it for its aesthetic beauty or resonates with its religious significance, this image offers viewers an opportunity for introspection and connection with centuries-old traditions.
