EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the left panel of the renowned Altarpiece of the Holy Kinship, a masterpiece found in the Collection of Stadtische Galerie im Stadelschen Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Painted during the Renaissance period by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), this oil on wood artwork depicts an enchanting scene from the New Testament. At its center stands Mary, known as Madonna, holding her divine child Jesus. The tender bond between mother and son is beautifully portrayed as they are surrounded by their extended family. To Mary's left is Saint Anne, often referred to as Anna or Mother of God. She lovingly gazes upon her daughter and grandson with utmost adoration. The painting also features several apostles who were part of Jesus' inner circle. James the Greater and James the Less can be seen along with Simon Zelotes and Jude Thaddaeus. Each figure adds depth to this holy gathering known as "holy kinship" or "Anna Selbdritt". Cranach's attention to detail and masterful use of colors bring life to this sacred moment frozen in time. The fine art image captures every brushstroke with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate beauty. As we delve into this remarkable piece, it transports us back centuries ago when faith played a significant role in people's lives. This print serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and religious devotion that continues to inspire audiences worldwide.
