EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite altarpiece titled "Saint Mary Cleophas and Her Family" created by the renowned artist Bernhard Strigel in the early 16th century. The artwork, painted with oil on panel, beautifully captures a moment of profound religious significance. In this Northern Renaissance masterpiece, Saint Mary Cleophas is depicted alongside her family, including her husband and their children. The figures are dressed in vibrant clothing adorned with gold leaf accents, symbolizing their elevated status within Christianity. Each character is distinguished by a radiant halo above their heads, signifying their saintly nature. The composition exudes an air of serenity as Saint Mary Cleophas gently gestures towards her infant son Jesus Christ while surrounded by playful dogs and joyful children. Strigel's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous rendering of each figure's facial expressions and delicate features. The painting not only portrays the sacred bond between mother and child but also explores themes of parenthood and familial love. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith during this era. Currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this remarkable piece from German heritage art continues to inspire awe with its masterful technique and profound spiritual resonance.
