EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century print, titled "The Virgin holding the Infant Christ," is an anonymous depiction of the revered biblical scene of the Madonna and Child. The composition is inspired by the masterful works of Guido Reni, an Italian Baroque painter known for his graceful figures and ethereal lighting. In this print, the Virgin Mary tenderly cradles the infant Jesus, her expression one of deep love and devotion. The Christ Child gazes up at his mother with an innocent and serene expression. The title "Stella Maris" or "Our Lady of Refuge," is inscribed at the bottom, emphasizing the role of the Virgin Mary as a source of comfort and protection for the faithful. The intricately detailed etching showcases the skillful hand of the anonymous artist, who masterfully captured the essence of this cherished biblical scene. This print is a testament to the enduring influence of Renaissance art and the profound impact it continues to have on the visual culture of the Western world. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and other art institutions around the world proudly exhibit such works, preserving the rich artistic and cultural heritage they represent.
