EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jacques Stella's "Marriage of the Virgin" a masterpiece created around 1640. The artwork, rendered in pen and black ink with brushwork, features delicate shades of gray and pale brown washes on pieced cream laid paper. Measuring 36.7x26.7 cm, this piece is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois, USA. The composition depicts a significant moment from the New Testament - the marriage between Mary and Joseph. Two figures stand before an elegant column, their expressions filled with love and devotion. Stella's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; his skillful use of graphite adds depth and texture to this exquisite work. Notably, two figures positioned before the column are cut from similar paper and carefully inserted over a slightly smaller hole in the primary support. This unique technique adds an intriguing element to the overall composition. Generously gifted by Dorothy Braude Edinburg to the Harry B. and Bessie K. Braude Memorial Collection, this artwork represents French artistry at its finest during that era. Immerse yourself in this enchanting portrayal of love as you explore themes such as marriage, wedding customs, Virgin Mary's significance within Christianity's narrative, temple symbolism, Madonna iconography, and Joseph's role within biblical history.
