The Commandment to Love One Another, 1599
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the 16th century. Created by Gillis van Breen, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of love and devotion in Christian theology. In this intricate design, we see cherubs and putti surrounding an infant Jesus Christ. The angelic figures symbolize purity and innocence, while their playful presence adds a touch of whimsy to the scene. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line and scrollwork contributes to the overall decorative effect. The central message of this artwork lies in its lettering: "The Commandment to Love One Another". This powerful concept reminds us of the fundamental teachings of Christianity - that love should be at the core of our interactions with others. Van Breen's skillful technique brings life to each figure, emphasizing their tender expressions and delicate bodies. The print exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony, inviting viewers into a world where compassion reigns supreme. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also how relevant its message remains today. It serves as a timeless reminder for all humanity - regardless of time or place - that love has the power to unite us all.
