EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Virgin of the Sacred Heart" a remarkable oil on canvas painting created by Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix in 1821. The artwork, measuring an impressive 258 x 152 cm, currently resides in Ajaccio Cathedral, Corsica. Originally commissioned from Theodore Gericault in 1819 for the Bishop of Nantes, this masterpiece was secretly passed on to Delacroix to assist him with his financial struggles. However, despite its prestigious origins and artistic brilliance, the picture faced rejection by the Cathedral at Nantes. In 1827, it found its rightful place under Gericault's name at Ajaccio. "The Virgin of the Sacred Heart" exudes profound religious devotion and symbolism. It depicts Jesus Christ's mother Mary holding her heart while surrounded by cherubic putti and a cross. This devotional image evokes piety and love within Catholicism. Delacroix's mastery is evident through his skillful brushwork and use of vibrant colors that bring life to every detail. The composition captures both spiritual intensity and tender emotion as Mary gazes lovingly at her sacred heart. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate this significant piece without limitations or commercial intentions. It serves as a testament to Delacroix's talent and enduring legacy within French art history.
