EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Communion of the Virgin" a remarkable oil on canvas painting created by Giacinto Gimignani or Gemignano in 1663. The artwork, measuring an impressive 221x172 cm, is housed in the Palais de Longchamp in Marseille, France. Jean Bernard has skillfully captured this Christian and traditional masterpiece that depicts the sacred act of communion. In this scene, we witness a momentous ritual taking place as the Virgin Mary receives the Eucharist from an angelic figure. The painting exudes a sense of divine light and serenity, with candles illuminating the space around them. The candle holders add to the solemnity and reverence of this religious custom. Gimignani's attention to detail is evident throughout his work; every brushstroke brings life to each character present. This piece transports us back to seventeenth-century Christendom, where biblical figures such as Jesus Christ are depicted alongside angels. "The Communion of the Virgin" not only celebrates religious traditions but also serves as a testament to Italian artistry during Italy's Seicento period. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted faith. Jean Bernard's photograph beautifully captures all these elements while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we admire this image, let us appreciate both its artistic brilliance and spiritual symbolism that continue to inspire people worldwide.
