EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Christ child sleeps in the crib" by Hieronymus Wierix, we are transported back to a scene of profound serenity and innocence. The image showcases the tender moment when the infant Jesus peacefully slumbers in his humble cradle, surrounded by celestial angels who watch over him with utmost care. The artist skillfully captures Mary, the mother of Christ, sitting nearby as she delicately embroiders, her focus divided between her needlework and her beloved child. The landscape behind them adds a touch of tranquility to the composition, enhancing the overall sense of peace and harmony. Wierix's attention to detail is evident not only in his depiction of Mary's household activities but also in his meticulous rendering of each angelic figure. Their serene expressions convey their devotion and reverence for this miraculous event. The Latin inscription accompanying this artwork further emphasizes its spiritual significance while serving as a six-line signature from Hieronymus Wierix himself. Dating back to between 1563 and 1619, this timeless piece continues to captivate viewers with its ethereal beauty. Quint Lox has masterfully captured this iconic work from the Liszt Collection through photography. This print allows us to bring home a glimpse into history—a reminder of the sacredness found within moments of quiet contemplation and divine presence.
