EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Altarpiece of the Holy Kinship" right panel, a remarkable Renaissance painting found in the esteemed Collection of Stadtische Galerie im Stadelschen Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Painted by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), this oil on wood masterpiece beautifully depicts several significant figures from the New Testament. At its center stands Mary, known as Madonna or Mother of God, tenderly cradling her divine child, Infant Christ. To her left is Saint Anne, revered as the mother of Virgin Mary and depicted here as Anna Selbdritt. On either side are James the Greater and James the Less, both apostles chosen by Jesus himself. The composition further includes Simon Zelotes and Jude Thaddaeus—also known as Jude of James or Judas Thaddaeus—two other apostles who played vital roles in spreading Christianity. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; each figure exudes a sense of serenity and grace that transcends time. Through this artwork, Cranach skillfully captures not only religious devotion but also familial love within his portrayal of these holy kinships. As we gaze upon this fine art image captured with utmost precision, we are transported to a world where faith intertwines with artistic mastery—a testament to human creativity inspired by divine stories. This photograph serves as a window into history and invites us to appreciate both spiritual significance and aesthetic
