EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bugnon Altarpiece, created by Hans Fries in 1507, is a masterpiece that captures the essence of charity during the Renaissance era. This particular print showcases the right-hand panel of the altarpiece, depicting an incredibly moving scene. In this beautifully painted image, we see a loving and charitable family. A mother sits at the center with her children gathered around her. The mother's gentle expression radiates compassion as she holds a book in her hands. It symbolizes knowledge and education being passed down to future generations. The children eagerly lean towards their mother, captivated by her words and teachings. They represent innocence and hope for a brighter future through education and understanding. Charity is portrayed not only through material giving but also through emotional support and guidance within this family unit. The artist skillfully captures their unity and love for one another. This artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of charity in our lives - both in terms of providing for those less fortunate but also nurturing our own families with love, compassion, and knowledge. Displayed at Musee d'Art et d'Histoire in Fribourg, Switzerland, this altarpiece continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message of generosity and familial bonds that transcend time periods.
