EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Jean Fouquet, a renowned artist from the 15th century. Titled "Virgin and Child surrounded by cherubim and seraphim" this oil on panel masterpiece is housed in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. The right-hand panel of the Melun Diptych, this painting depicts the Virgin Mary cradling baby Jesus while being adored by heavenly beings. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every brushstroke capturing the delicate features of both mother and child. The scene is further enhanced by cherubim and seraphim surrounding them, creating an ethereal atmosphere. Notably, Agnes Sorel, a prominent figure at that time, is believed to be portrayed as Madonna in this artwork. Her regal presence is emphasized through her jeweled crown and elegant attire. The composition exudes a sense of divine royalty as Mary sits on a throne adorned with pearls and jewels. Her hairstyle adds to her gracefulness while she breastfeeds baby Jesus. Fouquet's skillful technique brings out the beauty of each element - from the intricate details of angelic faces to their pale skin tones contrasting against gold accents. This piece exemplifies Northern Renaissance artistry at its finest. As we admire this stunning print captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous portrayal of love between mother and child within a celestial realm.
