EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, created by Ephraim Gottlieb Krüger in the 18th century, depicts a powerful moment of adoration and motherhood. The image showcases the Virgin Mary with her arms crossed over her chest, gazing lovingly at the sleeping infant Christ. Inspired by Reni's iconic artwork, Krüger beautifully captures the essence of this sacred scene within an oval frame. The serene expression on Mary's face reflects her deep devotion as she watches over her beloved child. This portrayal emphasizes the profound bond between mother and son, highlighting their divine connection. The simplicity of the black and white tones adds a timeless quality to this piece, evoking a sense of reverence and spirituality. Krüger's engraving skillfully brings out every detail, showcasing his mastery as a German artist during that era. As we admire this work at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to a time when religious art played an integral role in society. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and love depicted through religious iconography. It symbolizes not only Christian beliefs but also universal themes such as family, parenthood, and devotion. Through Krüger's lens, we witness both the beauty and tenderness found within this sacred moment between mother and child – an eternal testament to the strength of maternal love throughout history.
