EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marcantonio Raimondi's masterpiece, "The Virgin with the long thigh sitting with the Christ Child, St John the Baptist and St Joseph". Created in Italy around 1518-19, this engraved artwork beautifully captures the essence of love, tenderness, and family within Christianity. At its center stands the Virgin Mary, a symbol of motherhood and devotion. With her long thigh gracefully draped over a stool, she cradles the Christ Child in her arms. The innocence radiating from Jesus' face is mirrored by that of his cousin St John the Baptist standing beside him. On their other side stands St Joseph, representing fatherly protection and guidance. Raphael Sanzio's influence on Raimondi's work is evident in this piece as it exudes an Italian Renaissance aesthetic. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into the engraving adds depth to each figure portrayed. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork invites viewers to contemplate themes such as faith, heritage art, and spirituality. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of religious iconography throughout history. "The Virgin with the long thigh sitting with the Christ Child" encapsulates not only artistic skill but also timeless concepts such as love between mother and child. This print allows us to appreciate Raimondi's talent while connecting us to centuries-old traditions that continue to shape our understanding of religion today.
