EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Adoration of the Kings, after Augustin Braun, 1646" transports us back to the 17th century with its timeless beauty. Created by the talented Wenceslaus Hollar, this etching showcases a scene from the New Testament - the adoration of the magi. In this intricate artwork, we witness a momentous gathering in a snowy Bohemian landscape. The central figures are Mary and baby Jesus, surrounded by three kings who have traveled far to pay homage to their newborn savior. Their regal presence is accentuated by majestic horses standing nearby. The attention to detail in Hollar's work is truly remarkable; every line and shadow brings life to each character and animal depicted. The stable where Jesus was born stands proudly in the background as worshippers gather around it with reverence. Despite its monochromatic palette, this image exudes warmth and serenity. It captures not only an important religious event but also highlights elements of daily life during that era – from people going about their activities to animals finding solace amidst winter weather. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print serves as a testament to Hollar's artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers through time. As we gaze upon this masterpiece today, we can't help but feel connected both spiritually and historically – reminding us of our shared human experiences across centuries.
