EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by the talented artist Hieronymus Wierix, transports us to a celestial realm where Mary, the Queen of Heaven, cradles the Christ Child on a delicate crescent moon. The image is infused with an ethereal glow as if bathed in divine light. Mary sits gracefully with her lap serving as a tender sanctuary for the young Jesus. Her hands gently hold him close, symbolizing her protective and nurturing nature. Meanwhile, cherubic angels surround them in adoration and awe. The crescent moon upon which they rest adds an element of mysticism to the scene. It represents purity and renewal while also alluding to Mary's role as the "Queen of Heaven". This heavenly queenly status is further emphasized by her placement within a mandorla - an almond-shaped halo that signifies holiness. In this serene moment frozen in time, we witness not only the bond between mother and child but also their connection to something greater than themselves. The presence of angels and clouds suggests that this encounter takes place beyond earthly boundaries. Quint Lox's masterful capture of this iconic artwork from Hieronymus Wierix allows us to bring home a piece of history and spirituality. Whether displayed in our homes or admired in galleries, it serves as a reminder of love's power and divinity's grace.
