EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Christ Child Builds a Ship" created by Hieronymus Wierix between 1563 and 1619, we witness a remarkable scene from the daily life of Joseph, Mary, and their son Jesus in Nazareth. The image showcases the tender relationship between father and child as Christ assists Joseph in constructing a magnificent ship. The silhouette of the vessel against the backdrop of an ethereal maritime setting evokes a sense of awe and wonder. Angels surround the pair, providing divine guidance and support while Mary sits nearby, knitting with serene concentration. Her presence adds to the peaceful ambiance that permeates this domestic scene. Hieronymus Wierix's signature appears on this masterpiece, showcasing his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details with precision. Through his artistry, he invites us to contemplate not only the physical act of building a ship but also its symbolic significance - representing journeys, exploration, and possibilities yet to be discovered. This extraordinary print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection transports us back in time to witness an intimate moment within one of history's most revered families. It serves as a reminder that even divinity itself was once part of our mortal world; engaging in everyday tasks alongside loved ones is what makes us truly human.
