EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting by Jacob Jordaens, titled "The Virgin and Child with SS Zacharias, Elizabeth and John the Baptist" we are transported to a serene scene of religious significance. The artwork, dating back to around 1620, measures an impressive 114x153 cm and is housed in the prestigious National Gallery in London. At the center of the composition stands the Madonna, tenderly cradling baby Jesus in her arms. Her gentle gaze meets ours as she radiates maternal love and divine grace. Surrounding them are three important figures from Christian tradition: SS Zacharias, Elizabeth, and John the Baptist. Each saint contributes to the narrative with their own symbolic presence. A birdcage hangs delicately above them, representing freedom and spirituality. A chair rests nearby as a symbol of authority or perhaps an invitation for contemplation. A goat playfully interacts with John the Baptist while a goldfinch perches on his finger—a traditional representation of Christ's future suffering. Jordaens' masterful use of color brings warmth to this sacred moment; rich reds contrast against soft blues creating a harmonious balance throughout. Every brushstroke captures both human tenderness and divine divinity. This exquisite print allows us to bring home a piece of art history that has stood the test of time. It serves as a reminder not only of our spiritual heritage but also showcases Jordaens' artistic brilliance that continues to inspire generations today.
