John the Baptist recognizes Christ by the appearance of a dove, from a Mirror of Holiness
John the Baptist recognizes Christ by the appearance of a dove, from a Mirror of Holiness (Mir at al-quds) of Father Jerome Xavier, 1602-1604. This scene of John the Baptists recognition of Jesus is set in a lavishly decorated Mughal courtyard. The artist has closely followed Father Jeromes text, which tells of the Holy Spirit taking the form of a dove that sits atop Jesuss head, rather than the text of the Gospels, which describes the dove as hovering in the air. John wears the black robes of a Jesuit, garb that in the context of the Mughal court identifies him as a teacher. He points to an open book to acknowledge the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Messiah, and in recognition of the Word of God

Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the moment when John the Baptist recognizes Christ, as depicted in a Mirror of Holiness created by Father Jerome Xavier between 1602 and 1604. The scene is beautifully set in a lavishly decorated Mughal courtyard, transporting us to the opulence of that era. The artist has faithfully followed Father Jerome's text, which describes the Holy Spirit taking the form of a dove resting on Jesus's head. This differs from the Gospel accounts where the dove is described as hovering in mid-air. John, dressed in black Jesuit robes, stands before Jesus and points to an open book symbolizing his recognition of Jesus as the Messiah prophesied by God. In this artwork made for Prince Salim during Mughal India's reign, we witness not only artistic mastery but also cultural significance. John's attire identifies him as a teacher within the context of the Mughal court. The use of color and gold on paper adds richness and depth to this masterpiece. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this exquisite painting captures both religious devotion and historical context. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and boundaries while preserving our heritage. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has skillfully captured every intricate detail through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate this remarkable piece even if they cannot see it firsthand at the museum itself.
