EDITORS COMMENTS
The "Redemption Triptych: Sacrament of Marriage" is a captivating print that captures the essence of a sacred union. Painted by Vrancke van der Stockt in the 15th century, this triptych showcases the sacraments surrounding the central image of the Crucifixion. In this particular scene, we witness a momentous occasion as a bride and groom come together in holy matrimony. Both dressed in vibrant red garments, they extend their right hands towards each other, symbolizing their commitment and love. The priest stands before them, resting his stole on their hands to bless their union. This painting offers us a glimpse into Flemish wedding customs during that era when red attire was favored over white. It also highlights the significance of marriage as one of life's most profound sacraments. Adorned with intricate details and delicate brushstrokes, this print evokes a sense of reverence and solemnity. The artist's masterful technique shines through every stroke, capturing not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth within this sacred ceremony.
