1512 Hans Fries Unmarked Visitation Tempera
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Visitation" a remarkable artwork created in 1512 by Hans Fries. The piece is executed using tempera on paneled softwood, measuring 87 x 56 cm. The artist, hailing from Freiburg i. U. , was active between the years of 1460 and after 1523 in Bern. "Visitation" depicts a profound biblical scene where two women, Mary and Elizabeth, come together during their pregnancies with Jesus and John the Baptist respectively. This tender moment is beautifully captured through Fries' skilled brushwork and attention to detail. The composition exudes a sense of serenity as Mary gently touches her cousin Elizabeth's pregnant belly while they exchange warm smiles. The delicate colors used in this piece further enhance the emotional connection between these two important figures in Christian history. Although unmarked, this artwork bears all the hallmarks of Fries' distinctive style - his ability to convey human emotions with subtlety and grace is evident here. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to the early sixteenth century when religious art played an integral role in society. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of visual storytelling and its ability to evoke deep spiritual contemplation even centuries later.
