EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century triptych, titled "Triptych with St Peter and St Anne" is a masterpiece by the renowned Flemish artist Bernaert van Orley. The front panel of this exquisite artwork showcases an array of vibrant colors and intricate details that transport viewers to the Renaissance era. In the central panel, we see St Peter, one of Jesus' apostles and the patron saint of fishermen, holding a key symbolizing his role as the gatekeeper to heaven. On either side stands St Anne, depicted as a wise woman kneeling in prayer. She is recognized as the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus. The left wing portrays a young boy with an innocent expression alongside a majestic bull, representing strength and power. This combination alludes to biblical symbolism often associated with Saint Luke or Saint John. On the right wing, we are presented with a serene landscape featuring rolling hills and lush greenery. This idyllic scene serves as an enchanting backdrop for two female figures engaged in deep contemplation. Van Orley's masterful use of oil on painted wood brings these religious figures to life while showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing human emotions through art media. This print collector's edition allows us to appreciate every brushstroke from this remarkable piece without compromising its historical significance. "Triptych with St Peter and St Anne" exemplifies Van Orley's contribution to Flemish Renaissance art while offering viewers an opportunity to delve into religious iconography from the 16th century.
