EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Virgin Child" created around 1520. The painting, attributed to the renowned Netherlandish artist Simon Bening, is believed to have originated in Ghent and measures approximately 10 x 8 1/4 inches (254 x 21 cm). It is beautifully executed using oil on wood. The image depicts the Holy Family in an intriguing composition. In this particular scene, we see the Virgin Mary holding her divine child, Jesus. However, unlike traditional representations of the Rest or Flight into Egypt narrative, Joseph is absent from the picture. This absence creates a different context for viewers to interpret their journey. Simon Bening was celebrated as a master miniaturist during his time in Bruges from 1483-84 until his passing in 1561. His attention to detail and exquisite technique are evident throughout this piece. The delicate brushwork and vibrant colors bring life to Mary's serene expression and highlight Jesus' innocence. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Bening's skillful craftsmanship up close while also pondering the deeper meaning behind this unique portrayal of the Holy Family. Whether displayed as part of a personal collection or used for educational purposes, it serves as a testament to Bening's artistic legacy and invites contemplation about religious narratives depicted through art.
