The Virgin mourns over the body of Christ in an extensive landscape of a mid-15th-century Flemish type. Traditionally attributed to Marmion, A297 is by an artist who may have known his work, but was not in his immediate circle.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Pieta" by Simon Marmion, or possibly Lieven van Laetham, a follower of Marmion. The tempera on panel painting measures 30x22 cm and is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. In this mid-15th-century Flemish masterpiece, we witness a poignant scene where the Virgin Mary mourns over the lifeless body of Christ. The backdrop features an expansive landscape typical of that era, transporting us to a world filled with both beauty and sorrow. While traditionally attributed to Marmion, recent research suggests that it may be the work of Lieven van Laetham instead. Van Laetham was an active artist in Ghent and Antwerp during his time. Although not directly associated with Marmion's circle, this artist likely drew inspiration from his renowned predecessor. The composition skillfully captures intricate details such as drapery and expressions while evoking emotions through its portrayal of grief and loss. This early Renaissance piece exemplifies elements commonly found in Northern Renaissance art. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the enduring power and significance behind religious iconography within Western art history. It serves as a testament to the talent and creativity exhibited by these masterful artists who continue to inspire generations with their timeless works.
