EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Christ at the Well, plate from Giulio Alenis' Tianzhu jiangsheng zhuxiang jingjie" in all its intricate beauty. Created by the Chinese School in the 17th century, this woodblock print measures 17.2x14.5 cm and is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The image depicts a serene biblical landscape with Jinjiang Church as its backdrop in Fujian Province, China. The artist skillfully captures a momentous encounter between Jesus Christ and a woman at a well, drawing inspiration from the New Testament. Giulio Aleni, an esteemed Jesuit missionary and scholar who published numerous works in China during his lifetime (1582-1649), is credited for this remarkable piece. His expertise shines through as he seamlessly blends elements of Chinese culture with Christian symbolism. As we delve into this profound artwork, we are reminded of the universal nature of Christianity and how it transcends geographical boundaries. This fusion of Eastern aesthetics with Western religious themes serves as a testament to cultural exchange and mutual understanding. Thanks to Herschel V. Jones' generous gift to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in 1925, we can now appreciate this masterpiece up close. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers have access to explore not only the historical significance but also the spiritual depth embedded within this extraordinary representation of faith.
