EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "The Baptism of Jesus by St John the Baptist" as depicted by Vardan Lorets'i in 1334. The artwork showcases St John and Jesus, their figures illuminated by a divine halo, standing together in a serene river. With his hand raised in blessing, Jesus symbolizes the Holy Trinity with three fingers raised - representing God the Father, whose hand points down from the clouds; God the Holy Spirit embodied by a graceful dove; and God the Son himself. Taken from an Armenian Evangelistery, this image is part of a sacred book containing excerpts from the Christian Gospels used during liturgical ceremonies. It beautifully portrays not only faith but also elements of nature such as weather and clouds that add to its ethereal ambiance. The composition exudes tranquility and spirituality while emphasizing trust and togetherness between St John and Jesus. As witnesses to this miraculous event unfold before them, viewers are invited into a world where devotion and prayer intertwine with family bonds. Vardan Lorets'i's illustration skillfully combines elements of medieval art media with vibrant colors that bring life to this biblical scene. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to religious beliefs held dear for centuries.
