Madonna Crowned by Two Angels,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving from the 16th century by Flemish artist Jan Wierix, showcases the biblical scene of the Virgin Mary being crowned by two angels as an acknowledgement of her purity and motherhood. The image, created in 1563, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Flemish school during the Renaissance period. The intricately detailed drawing, engraved in black on ivory laid paper, portrays the Madonna, or Mary Virgin, seated on a throne, her hands holding the Christ Child in an act of tender nurturing. The infant Jesus, with an apple in his right hand, symbolizes the fall of mankind and the promise of redemption. The two angels, with their wings spread in adoration, place a jeweled crown upon Mary's head, signifying her exalted status as the Mother of God. This engraving, a masterpiece by Jan Wierix, is a powerful depiction of the concept of the Infancy of Christ and the significance of the Madonna in Christian theology. It is a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists, as it is displayed in various art centers, galleries, and museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago. The image, with its intricate details and profound symbolism, is a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and deep reflection.
