"Did not you say could sing at sight? - Yes, sir, but not at FIRST sight" George Frederick Handel, a German composer who became naturalized British, was a musical genius known for his ability to compose and perform masterpieces. This oil on canvas portrait captures the essence of Handel's brilliance as he stands proudly in Westminster Abbey, London during The Handel Festival. As we delve into the world of Messiah, we are reminded of Jan van Scorel's Triptych of the Crucifixion from 1535. This powerful artwork depicts the mockery Jesus faced from both people and soldiers. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Christ. Intriguingly, an exquisite silver altar with an ebony frame from Husum Chapel catches our attention. Its intricate design and craftsmanship symbolize devotion and reverence towards God. Moving away from physical representations, we encounter captivating scenes that stir our emotions. From Baby Jesus peacefully resting in the manger to Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross alongside two others – these images evoke profound contemplation about faith and redemption. On a lighter note, we come across a whimsical Christmas card featuring a woman asleep and dreaming. Perhaps she envisions herself partaking in this divine story or finding solace within its message during festive celebrations. Taking us back centuries ago is Stern des Meschiah's page from 1477. Created anonymously, it transports us to another era where artistic expressions celebrated religious narratives through stunning illustrations. Finally, standing tall amidst all these references is George Frederic Handel himself immortalized in bronze at Westminster Abbey. A testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's greatest composers whose masterpiece "Messiah" continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
