EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chiaroscuro print, created in 1647, captures the tender moment between the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus, and St. John the Baptist. The intricate play of light and shadow, a hallmark of chiaroscuro art, adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the figures to life. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is depicted in the center, her serene expression conveying a sense of maternal love and devotion. She cradles her son, Jesus, in her arms, his tiny hands reaching out towards St. John the Baptist. The infant Jesus gazes up at John with a look of curiosity and affection. St. John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus, stands before them, dressed in the traditional camel's hair cloak and holding a cross and a lamb. His youthful face is filled with awe and reverence as he looks at the divine infant. The contrast between the innocence of the children and the wisdom of the adults creates a poignant and thought-provoking image. The print, created over 370 years ago, continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and emotional depth. The use of chiaroscuro adds a sense of drama and intensity to the scene, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to contemplate the profound connection between the three figures. This print is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to inspire and move us, reminding us of the deep spiritual truths that transcend time and culture.
