EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Christ Child puts a roof" we are transported back in time to witness an intimate scene from the daily life of Joseph, Mary, and the young Jesus in Nazareth. The image beautifully captures the household occupations of this holy family as they go about their humble tasks. We see angels carrying a ladder while Joseph diligently works on hammering the roof of their house. Meanwhile, Mary is depicted doing flax combing, showcasing her industrious nature and commitment to her domestic duties. The Latin inscription adds an air of authenticity to this piece by renowned artist Hieronymus Wierix, who lived between 1563 and 1619. His signature can be found within six lines at the bottom corner of the print. Quint Lox's skillful reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical artwork. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and devotion as we witness Christ Himself actively participating in his earthly family's everyday life. This print serves as a reminder that even divine beings like Jesus were not exempt from mundane tasks but embraced them with grace and humility. It invites us to reflect on our own lives and find meaning in our daily routines, knowing that even small acts can hold great significance when performed with love and dedication.
