EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a mesmerizing scene from the right wing of the Buxtehude Altar, created between 1400 and 1410 by Master Bertram of Minden. This exquisite piece, found in the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany, showcases the artist's mastery of tempera on panel. In this enchanting image, we witness an angel visiting the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus. The angel gracefully hovers above them under a beautifully adorned baldacchino canopy within a stunning Gothic architectural setting. The intricate details of the cross and crown of thorns add depth to this religious tableau. What makes this artwork truly unique is its portrayal of Mary as she engages in everyday activities. She can be seen knitting while also engrossed in reading, symbolizing her dual role as both mother and scholar. This depiction has earned it the nickname "The Knitting Madonna". As we delve deeper into this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to another intriguing element - Jesus playing with a spinning top at his mother's feet. This playful touch humanizes him while reminding us that he was once an innocent child. This remarkable print not only transports us back to Northern Renaissance art but also allows us to appreciate Master Bertram's exceptional talent for capturing emotion through meticulous detail. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Germany's most celebrated artists.
