EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Since when did man paint the Blessed Mother with grey eyes and black hair-curly too, I faith?"" by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale takes us on a journey through time and artistry. The image showcases a stunning color lithograph that captures the essence of religious devotion and artistic interpretation. The central focus of this artwork is the portrayal of the Blessed Mother, who is traditionally depicted with blue eyes and fair hair. However, Fortescue-Brickdale challenges these conventions by presenting her with striking grey eyes and curly black hair. This departure from tradition sparks curiosity and invites contemplation about how we perceive religious figures in art. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as she skillfully brings to life each element within the composition. From the meticulously painted costumes worn by characters reminiscent of medieval times to the lush gardens surrounding them, every aspect contributes to an immersive experience for viewers. This artwork also hints at themes such as death, plague, illuminated manuscripts, monastic life, and spirituality. It transports us back to a time when monks painstakingly created illuminated texts while grappling with existential questions amidst societal turmoil. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of how art can challenge our preconceptions and inspire deeper reflection on matters both divine and human.
