EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Chapel of the Enfants-Trouves in Paris: Les Rois mages Gaspard et Melchior adorant l'Enfant Jesus" created by Etienne Fessard in 1752. The image depicts a scene of profound religious significance, portraying the Wise Men Gaspard and Melchior adoring the infant Jesus. Set within the enchanting backdrop of an eighteenth-century French chapel, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of devotion and reverence. The intricate details bring to life the characters from biblical lore, including Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus surrounded by cherubs and angelic figures. The artist's skillful use of etching and engraving techniques adds depth to every element portrayed in this masterpiece. From delicate features on each face to subtle textures on clothing, Fessard's attention to detail is evident throughout. "The Chapel of the Enfants-Trouves" holds historical significance as it was associated with a foundling hospital in Paris during that era. This connection between faith and charity further enhances the emotional impact conveyed through this artwork. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event central to Christian tradition—the adoration of baby Jesus by these revered kings.
