EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a powerful scene titled "Pietà Scenes with Christ (series title), The Dead Christ is on Mary's lap". In this engraving by Hieronymus Wierix, created in Antwerp between 1563 and 1573, we witness a deeply moving moment of grief and mourning. The lifeless body of Christ rests upon the lap of his mother, Mary. Two angels tenderly support his weight, their presence offering solace and divine comfort. The sorrow etched on Mary's face speaks volumes about her immense pain and loss. In the margin surrounding this poignant image, there is a six-line caption written in Latin divided into two columns. It reads "Pieta Vesperbild Marienklage" which translates to "Pietà Evening Image Lamentation of Mary". This inscription further emphasizes the profound sadness depicted in the artwork. Hieronymus Wierix's meticulous attention to detail can be seen in every stroke of this exquisite engraving. Whether or not Christ wears a crown of thorns adds an additional layer of symbolism to this already emotionally charged scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from centuries past, it serves as a reminder that even amidst great suffering and tragedy, love endures. The enduring bond between mother and son captured here continues to resonate with viewers today, inviting us to reflect on our own capacity for compassion and empathy.
