EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Christ child builds a fence" we are transported back in time to witness a tender moment in the household of Joseph and Mary. Created by the talented artist Hieronymus Wierix between 1563 and 1619, this artwork beautifully captures the daily life in Nazareth. The image depicts young Christ child diligently working on building a fence around their garden, with angels gracefully assisting him. The fatherly figure of Joseph can be seen nearby, overseeing his son's efforts with pride. Meanwhile, Mary sits serenely amidst the blooming flowers, stringing together a garland. There is an undeniable sense of harmony and tranquility emanating from this scene. The Latin signature at the bottom suggests that Wierix himself was deeply moved by this portrayal of Christ's humble upbringing. The composition is strikingly balanced as it showcases both physical labor and spiritual grace. It reminds us that even though Jesus was divine, he experienced everyday tasks just like any other child would. This remarkable piece from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection invites us to reflect upon the beauty found within ordinary moments and appreciate the profound significance they hold within our lives.
