The Visitation, 1512 - A Glimpse into the Sacred Encounter
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Visitation" a masterpiece created by Hans Fries in 1512. The artwork, rendered in tempera on canvas laid down on wood, measures 87 x 56 cm and is housed at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. Part of an altarpiece dedicated to Saint Mary, this panel forms the upper register of the left wings' inner side. It offers a profound glimpse into a significant biblical moment - The Visitation. In this scene from the New Testament's Gospel of Luke, we witness two women embracing amidst a breathtaking landscape. On one side stands Elizabeth, pregnant with her son John the Baptist; on the other is Mary herself - pregnant with Jesus Christ. Their meeting symbolizes joyous anticipation and divine connection as they share their miraculous pregnancies. Fries' late Gothic style shines through his attention to detail and delicate brushwork. He skillfully captures emotions and spirituality while infusing natural elements into his composition. "The Visitation" not only serves as a religious icon but also represents themes of motherhood, faith, and devotion that resonate across cultures and time periods. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, viewers can now appreciate Fries' artistic brilliance up close while immersing themselves in this sacred encounter between two extraordinary women – Elizabeth and Mary – forever immortalized within this Northern Renaissance masterpiece.
