EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central panel of the Retable of the Passion, a masterpiece created between 1517 and 1520 by Antonio Ronzen. The retable, located in the Basilica of Mary Magdalene in St. Maximin-La-Sainte-Baume, France, depicts two significant events from Jesus Christ's life: the Crucifixion and Entombment. The tempera on panel technique employed by Ronzen brings to life the emotional intensity of these scenes. The crucifixion scene portrays Christ's sacrifice for humanity with striking detail and realism. Meanwhile, the entombment scene captures a moment of profound grief as Jesus is laid to rest. An inscription at the base reveals that this altarpiece was commissioned by Jacques de Beaune, Baron de Semblançay and Superintendant of Finance for King Francis I. This act of patronage demonstrates both his piety and support for religious art during the Renaissance period. It is believed that Antoine Brea, another painter from Niçois School, contributed to this remarkable work as well. His influence can be seen particularly in his depiction of the entombment scene. This print not only offers a glimpse into an extraordinary piece of art but also invites contemplation on themes such as faith, devotion, and human suffering. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its connection to influential figures like Jacques de Beaune and King Francis I.
