EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Deisis" a stunning masterpiece created by the Greek School in the 17th century. Painted with tempera on panel, this artwork measures 90.8x59.3 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The composition of this piece centers around a sacred scene known as the Deisis, which translates to "prayer" or "supplication". It features three prominent figures: Saint John the Baptist, Virgin Mary, and Jesus Christ himself. The painting depicts them seated on an ornate throne, radiating divine majesty. Saint John stands at one side of the throne while holding a scroll symbolizing his role as the precursor to Christ's ministry. On the other side sits Virgin Mary, her serene expression reflecting her significance as both mother and intercessor for humanity. Jesus Christ occupies the central position, bestowing his blessing upon those who seek solace and guidance through prayer. His presence exudes grace and compassion as he extends his hand in benediction. Noteworthy details include the suppedaneum (footstool) beneath their feet signifying their elevated status and authority. This iconic representation has been widely revered throughout history for its spiritual symbolism and profound religious meaning. Bridgeman Images beautifully captures every intricate brushstroke of this remarkable painting in exquisite detail through this print from Fine Art Finder. It serves as a testament to centuries-old artistic mastery that continues to inspire awe and reverence today.
