EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Oliver Isaac's masterpiece, "Madonna and Child in Glory" created between 1605-17. The painting, rendered with gouache and watercolor on vellum, measures 27.5x20.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio. The artwork depicts a celestial scene where the Virgin Mary cradles baby Jesus amidst a heavenly backdrop of floating clouds. Symbolizing divinity and purity, Mary gazes lovingly at her child while breastfeeding him, embodying the iconic image of Madonna lactans or nursing Madonna. The composition exudes baroque aesthetics with its dramatic use of light and shadow that accentuates the figures' full length. In one hand, Jesus holds an orb known as salvator mundi (savior of the world), symbolizing his divine authority over all creation. Oliver Isaac's attention to detail is evident in this miniature masterpiece; every brushstroke brings life to Mary's serene expression and delicate features. The cloudy atmosphere adds depth to the painting while hinting at meteorology and weather science prevalent during that era. As we admire this timeless work, it transports us back to a period when religious iconography played a significant role in art history. Through this print from Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only Oliver Isaac's skill but also the enduring power of faith depicted through Madonna and Child in Glory.
