EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the exquisite painting "Christ in the House of Simon the Pharisee" by Frans Francken II, a Flemish artist from the 17th century. The scene depicts a significant moment from the New Testament, specifically Luke 7:40, where Mary Magdalene anoints Jesus' feet with precious ointment. Measuring 55 x 83 cm and housed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rennes, France, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases not only this pivotal event but also various other episodes from Christ's life. Surrounding the central scene are depictions of Mary Magdalene listening to one of Jesus' sermons, Lazarus being resurrected, Jesus with Martha and Mary, Mary Magdalene at the foot of the cross, Christ appearing as a gardener to her after his resurrection, and even her journey to Provence on a ship. Francken skillfully portrays each detail with precision and emotion. The composition is rich in symbolism and religious significance while displaying his mastery of technique. From Jesus reclining at Simon's table during a meal to Mary Magdalene humbly washing his feet with spikenard oil – every element tells its own story within this grand narrative. This artwork invites viewers into an immersive experience that transports them back in time to witness these profound moments firsthand. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a spiritual reflection on faith for all who encounter it.
