EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Maarten de Vos' masterpiece, "St. Luke Painting the Virgin" painted in 1602. The monumental oil on panel artwork measures an impressive 270x217 cm and is housed at the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. In this scene, we witness St. Luke engrossed in his divine task as he paints a portrait of the Virgin Mary and infant Christ. According to legend, they appeared to him in a vision, inspiring him to immortalize their presence through art. As the patron saint of painters, St. Luke's devotion shines through his meticulous brushstrokes. The painting was originally part of a triptych that adorned the altar of the Guild of St. Luke at Antwerp's Cathedral of Our Lady. It holds great significance within Christian iconography and serves as an evangelical symbol for believers worldwide. Surrounded by heavenly beings such as angels and cherubs, St. Luke diligently works at his easel while an assistant stands nearby with an ox – a traditional symbol associated with Luke's gospel account in the New Testament. This print allows us to appreciate not only de Vos' technical skill but also his ability to convey profound religious themes through artistry. It serves as a reminder of how faith can inspire creativity and touch our souls across centuries.
