EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "Christ in the House of Martha and Mary" by the School of Rembrandt van Rijn. Created during the 17th century, this masterpiece depicts a significant biblical scene described in the Gospel of Luke. The artwork portrays Jesus visiting the house of two sisters, Martha and Mary. As depicted in this painting, Jesus engages in a profound discourse while seated near a warm fireplace. The composition beautifully captures the contrasting attitudes of Martha and Mary towards his teachings. Martha is shown busily attending to domestic tasks, symbolizing her preoccupation with worldly matters. In contrast, Mary sits attentively at Jesus' feet, fully engrossed in his words. This prompts an admonishment from Jesus towards Martha for neglecting spiritual nourishment. The artist's skillful use of color and light adds depth to this intimate indoor setting within a Dutch household during Holland's Golden Age. The fine details bring life to each character present, emphasizing their individual roles within this biblical narrative. Currently housed at Moscow's State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts collection, this remarkable piece continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message about finding balance between our earthly responsibilities and nurturing our spiritual selves through attentive listening to divine teachings.
