EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Holy Women" the right-hand panel of the Deposition Diptych, painted by Hans Memling between 1492 and 1494. The oil on panel artwork measures 53.8x38.3 cm and is housed in the Capilla Real in Granada, Spain. In this poignant scene, we witness tearful saintes femmes en pleurs (weeping holy women) expressing their sorrow and grief. Among them stands Mary Magdalene, her face filled with anguish as she mourns the loss of Jesus Christ. To her left is the Virgin Mary, known as Madonna, who displays a profound sense of sadness mixed with resignation. On the right side of the composition stands St. John, his eyes downcast as he contemplates the weight of this tragic moment. Together, these figures represent a powerful depiction of sorrow and devotion during a pivotal event in Christian history – the descent from the cross. Hans Memling's masterful brushwork captures every nuance of emotion on each character's face while maintaining an overall sense of harmony within this Northern Renaissance masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when art served not only as visual beauty but also as a means to convey deep spiritual messages that resonate across centuries.
