EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a profound moment as the bride gazes into the mirror of Science, held up by Scientia herself. Surrounding them are Justice, Godliness, Chastisement, Satisfaction, Penitence, and Confession - all observing this significant exchange. The margin of the print features a four-line caption in Latin split into two columns. The image portrays not only the bride adorned in her wedding dress but also Piety and Timor Dei (Fear of God), representing devotion and reverence. The Three Theological Virtues stand alongside them: Faith, Hope, and Charity - guiding principles for a righteous life. Castigation and flagellation symbolize self-discipline and asceticism while Justice personifies divine fairness. Satisfaction embodies contentment with one's actions while Confession represents sacramental confession - an integral part of spiritual growth. Poenitentia (Penance) signifies remorse for wrongdoing along with Contritione (Contrition) as essential components of confession. These symbolic representations serve to remind us of our moral obligations towards ourselves and others. Science is depicted through Scientia or Scienza holding up her mirror - a powerful metaphor for knowledge seeking truth. Studio (Study) further emphasizes the pursuit of wisdom that science entails. This remarkable piece was created by Johannes Wierix in Antwerp during 1574 using paper and letterpress printing techniques. Its dimensions measure h 90 mm x w 140 mm
