EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from Rogier van der Weyden's masterpiece, "Deposition or descent of the cross". The focus is on the hands of both the vanished Virgin Mary and Christ himself. Van der Weyden, a renowned Netherlandish artist of the 15th century, skillfully depicts this biblical scene with his signature Flemish style. The painting showcases the emotional intensity and religious devotion that characterized art during this era. The hand of the vanished Virgin Mary is delicately painted, conveying her sorrow and anguish as she witnesses her son's crucifixion. It is a poignant reminder of her maternal love and sacrifice. In contrast, Christ's hand exhibits wounds inflicted by his crucifixion—a powerful symbol of redemption and salvation for believers. This detail serves as a visual representation of his ultimate sacrifice for humanity. Displayed at Madrid's Prado Museum, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and profound spiritual significance. Through this print by Josse, we are able to appreciate Van Der Weyden's masterful technique up close. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the artistic brilliance that emerged during the Middle Ages but also of the enduring power that religious themes hold in inspiring contemplation and reflection across centuries.
