EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painting "Angels with Attributes of the Passion, the Superscription from the Cross" by Simon Vouet. The artwork, created around 1624, is an oil on canvas masterpiece measuring 104.3 x 78.58 cm and is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. In this particular image, one angel takes center stage as it gracefully holds a tablet inscribed with the words "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. This tablet was originally placed above Christ's head on the cross during his crucifixion. The angel's celestial wings and velvet robe add to its ethereal presence. It is believed that this painting was part of a series depicting seven angels carrying various symbols representing Christ's Passion. These works were likely intended for display in a church or other religious building. The attention to detail and symbolism within this piece make it both visually stunning and spiritually significant. It serves as a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice and ultimate triumph over death according to Christian beliefs. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this profound artwork through their fine art photography expertise. This print allows viewers to appreciate Vouet's skillful brushwork while contemplating the deep spiritual meaning behind each element depicted in this remarkable composition.
