EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beauty and serenity of Quentin Massys' "Virgin and Child with Three Angels". Painted around 1509, this central panel of a triptych showcases the artist's incredible talent in oil on panel. Measuring 54x37 cm, it is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France. The composition features the Virgin Mary tenderly cradling baby Jesus while three angels surround them. The delicate brushwork brings out their ethereal presence, as they seem to glow against a dark background. The attention to detail is remarkable, from Mary's pearl headdress to the glass column and niche that frame this sacred scene. The altarpiece-like quality of this painting suggests its intended purpose for religious worship within a cathedral setting. Its intricate architecture adds depth and grandeur to the overall composition, transporting viewers into a realm of divine contemplation. Peter Willi's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and color choice made by Massys or Metsys during the Netherlandish Renaissance period. This particular print emphasizes not only artistic mastery but also serves as an important historical document showcasing one of Massys' most significant works. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the enduring power that art holds in capturing moments of profound spirituality and offering solace through centuries-old masterpieces like this one.
