The Presentation in the Temple
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a breathtaking work of art created by the Italian artist Girolamo da Santacroce in the 16th century. This antique masterpiece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in black chalk, brown ink, and red chalk with pen and ink drawing on cream laid paper squared in pen and brown ink and ruled along the perimeter in red chalk. The scene depicts the Biblical story of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, as described in the Book of Luke. According to the narrative, when Jesus was 12 years old, his parents, Mary and Joseph, traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. After the celebration, they returned home, only to discover that Jesus was missing. After three days of searching, they found him in the Temple, engaging in deep discussions with the scholars. Upon finding him, Mary scolded Jesus for worrying them, to which he replied that he must be about his Father's business. In this drawing, Girolamo Galizzi da Santacroce masterfully captures the essence of the moment. Mary, dressed in rich blue robes, looks concerned as she holds her son, Jesus, who is calmly seated among the scholars. The figures are rendered with remarkable detail and depth, creating an intimate and engaging atmosphere. The use of chalk and ink adds to the drawing's texture and contrast, while the red chalk outlines provide a sense of energy and movement. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of Christianity on European art. The Presentation in the Temple is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, religious art, or the works of Girolamo da Santacroce. The drawing is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
