EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print, titled "The Virgin and Child with Crown and Sceptre on a Crescent," is an enchanting depiction of the Madonna and Child from the German-speaking regions of Europe. The image, created around 1460, showcases the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, who reaches out towards his mother with one hand while grasping a sceptre with the other. The crescent moon beneath them symbolizes Mary's title as Stella Maris, or Star of the Sea, a title given to her as a protector of sailors and travelers. The print is hand-colored, with intricate details and shading that bring the figures to life. The use of red lacquer and laid paper adds to the antique charm, making it a prized piece of heritage art. The Madonna's regal attire, adorned with a crown, further emphasizes her status as the Queen of Heaven. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and religious traditions of the 15th century. It is a reminder of the profound influence of Christianity on art and the enduring appeal of the Madonna and Child motif. The print is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
