EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of "The Virgin Mary presents Jesus to St. Dominic" an oil painting created by the Spanish School in the 17th century. The artwork, housed in the Sanctuary of As Ermidas in Galicia, Spain, showcases St. Dominic, the revered founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). In this depiction, he is accompanied by his symbolic attributions - a dog with a torch, rosary, and a star on his forehead. Hovering above them on a cloud is Jesus himself, holding three arrows that symbolize his threat to punish wicked humans. However, it is through the persuasive words of his mother that he decides to withhold his anger. She tells him about St. Dominic's bravery in fighting evil forces. The portrait beautifully portrays both saints as they share this significant moment together. The tender expression on Mary's face as she presents her beloved son to St. Dominic radiates love and devotion. This stunning image not only highlights religious symbolism but also showcases exceptional artistic skill from the Spanish School during this period. It serves as a reminder of faith and courage while capturing an important narrative from Christian history. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured this masterpiece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and admire its rich details and profound meaning without any commercial intentions or usage restrictions attached.
