EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the central panel of the Triptych of the Virtue of Patience, painted by Bernard van Orley in 1521. This monumental oil on panel artwork measures an impressive 176x184 cm and is housed in the Musees Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in Brussels, Belgium. The image portrays a scene filled with chaos and despair as we witness the catastrophic collapse of Job's house upon his children. The artist skillfully depicts this momentous event, emphasizing not only the physical destruction but also the emotional turmoil experienced by Job and his family. The composition evokes a sense of falling and collapsing through its dynamic lines and dramatic use of light and shadow. As viewers, we are confronted with images that depict death, loss, and devastation. It serves as a powerful reminder that life can be unpredictable, testing our faith to its limits. This masterpiece invites us to reflect on themes such as resilience, endurance, and ultimately finding solace in patience during times of adversity. Van Orley's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to this biblical narrative while reminding us that even amidst chaos, there is beauty to be found within art.
