EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Luca Signorelli's masterpiece, "Virgin with Child" created between 1495 and 1498. The oil on panel painting, measuring 87 cm in diameter, is housed at the prestigious Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. In this enchanting tondo composition, Mary tenderly cradles baby Jesus in her arms. Their joined hands suggest a moment of prayer and deep connection between mother and child. The surrounding landscape features majestic rocks that create a serene backdrop for this intimate scene. Notably, positioned behind Mary is a seated figure of a naked young man believed to be John the Baptist preparing to baptize Jesus. This inclusion adds depth to the narrative and highlights the spiritual significance of this iconic biblical event. Signorelli's attention to detail is evident throughout the artwork; from Mary's gentle expression as she gazes upon her infant son to the intricate rendering of their garments and delicate folds. The artist masterfully captures both maternal love and divine grace within this timeless portrayal. Through his skillful brushwork, he invites viewers into an ethereal realm where faith intertwines with human tenderness.
