EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a timeless moment of devotion and love. In the center, the Virgin Mary cradles the infant Jesus in her arms, while Saint John the Baptist stands beside them. The scene is set against a serene landscape, creating a sense of tranquility and harmony. Giuseppe Longhi's engraving beautifully conveys the tenderness between mother and child. The Virgin's gentle hand gesture seems to bless both Jesus and Saint John, symbolizing her role as a protector and guide. Her expression radiates maternal affection, emphasizing her deep connection with her divine son. The presence of Saint John adds an element of innocence and purity to the composition. His youthful face reflects his admiration for Jesus, highlighting their spiritual bond even at such a young age. Longhi's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the delicate folds of clothing to the intricate engravings on Mary's gown, each element contributes to its overall beauty. This 19th-century masterpiece showcases Leonardo da Vinci's influence through its meticulous execution and composition. It serves as a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this tondo invites viewers into an intimate portrayal of motherhood and religious devotion that transcends time. Its black-and-white format enhances its classical aesthetic while allowing us to focus solely on the emotional depth conveyed by Longhi’s skilled craftsmanship.
