EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chiaroscuro print, dating between approximately 1520 and 1700, depicts the revered biblical scene of the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus, with her cousin St. John the Baptist gazing at the divine pair from a distance. The intricate interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of chiaroscuro art, brings an extraordinary depth and drama to the image. The Virgin Mary, with her serene expression and gentle gaze, holds the infant Jesus in her arms, her tender touch conveying the depth of her maternal love. The baby Jesus, with his innocent and peaceful countenance, gazes up at his mother, his tiny hands reaching out towards her in a gesture of affection. In the background, St. John the Baptist, dressed in camel's hair and a leather belt, stands in awe of the sacred scene. His gaze is fixed on the mother and child, his hand gesturing towards them in a sign of reverence and respect. The use of chiaroscuro in this print enhances the sense of spirituality and reverence, with the dark shadows and bright highlights creating a sense of otherworldliness and mystery. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to inspire and uplift, and a reminder of the deep spiritual connection between the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus, and St. John the Baptist. The intricate details and masterful use of light and shadow make it a true masterpiece of the chiaroscuro tradition.
