EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Hieronymus Wierix, we are transported to a serene and intimate moment between Mary and the Christ Child. The artist skillfully captures the tenderness of the scene as Mary lovingly suckles her infant son. With great attention to detail, Wierix portrays Mary with utmost grace, gently uncovering her breast to nourish her child. Surrounding them are celestial beings - angels and cherubs - who add an ethereal quality to the composition. They hover in the clouds above, their presence symbolizing divine protection and guidance. One angel offers a bunch of grapes, representing abundance and fertility. The Christ Child is depicted with a halo around his head, signifying his holiness from birth. He reaches out towards his mother's face while holding her hand in a gesture that conveys both trust and adoration. Wierix's mastery is evident not only in his technical execution but also in his ability to convey deep emotion through subtle details. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacred bond between mother and child, transcending time and culture. Quint Lox has expertly captured this timeless masterpiece from the Liszt Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty for generations to come.
