EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Correggio's masterpiece, "The Virgin and Child surrounded by St John the Baptist and St Joseph" painted in 1517. The oil on wood composition measures 63x53 cm and is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Orleans, France. In this iconic artwork, we witness a tender moment between the Virgin Mary, baby Jesus Christ, St John the Baptist, and St Joseph. The painting exudes a sense of tranquility as Mary cradles her infant son while being supported by both saints. The presence of a small cross hints at the future sacrifice that Jesus will make for humanity. Correggio masterfully captures the essence of motherhood through his portrayal of Mary's nurturing gaze towards her child. Her serene expression radiates love and devotion as she embraces her role as both mother and spiritual guide. St John the Baptist stands beside them with an air of reverence, recognizing Jesus' divine nature even from infancy. Meanwhile, St Joseph provides stability to this holy family unit with his protective stance. This timeless piece serves as a testament to Correggio's skillful technique and ability to convey deep emotions through paintbrush strokes. It continues to inspire awe in viewers centuries after its creation.
