EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Hieronymus Wierix, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Joseph and Mary. The scene depicts the couple's desperate search for shelter in Bethlehem, as they are refused entry at an inn. The composition is filled with symbolic elements that enhance the emotional depth of the narrative. A dove representing the Holy Ghost hovers above Mary, while flames dance around Joseph, signifying their divine connection and purpose. Angels grace the sky above them, observing their plight with compassion. Mary's pregnancy is evident as she seeks refuge alongside her husband, emphasizing their vulnerability and need for assistance during this significant journey. The Latin inscription below adds an air of authenticity to this six-line signature masterpiece by Hieronymus Wierix. The artist skillfully captures both the physical exhaustion and determination on Joseph and Mary's faces as they gaze upon a humble stable that will become their temporary sanctuary. Their expressions convey a mix of hopefulness and weariness from their arduous journey. This poignant image from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and challenges us to reflect on themes such as empathy, hospitality, and resilience even amidst adversity.
