EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "A Meat Stall with the Holy Family Giving Alms" painted by Pieter Aertsen in 1551. The oil on panel painting, measuring 115.6x168.9 cm, is housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. In this intricate composition, Aertsen skillfully captures a bustling scene set within a meat stall. The focal point of the artwork depicts the Holy Family - Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - engaging in an act of charity by giving alms to those in need. Surrounding them are various depictions of food: drying meats hanging from hooks, chickens ready for cooking, pots simmering with delectable dishes, ribs stacked high, and fish freshly caught from nearby waters. The attention to detail is remarkable as Aertsen portrays every element meticulously - sausages dangling temptingly beside pretzels while words are inscribed on cow hides and pig feet lay scattered about. This Netherlandish painting exemplifies Dutch artistry during this period. Through this artwork's rich imagery and symbolism, viewers are transported back to a time when daily life revolved around sustenance and religious devotion intertwined seamlessly. It serves as a reminder that acts of compassion can be found even amidst mundane tasks like buying food. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art prints like this one with utmost precision and clarity; we can now appreciate Aertsen's masterpiece beyond museum walls.
