EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant black chalk drawing by Michelangelo, we witness a tender and bittersweet moment between Christ and his mother, the Virgin Mary. Titled "Christ bidding farewell to his Mother after the Resurrection" this study captures the raw emotion of their parting after Jesus' triumphant return from death. The sketch showcases Michelangelo's mastery in capturing human emotions through simple yet powerful lines. The artist's delicate strokes bring out the deep love and connection shared between mother and son. As they stand face to face, their eyes meet with an intensity that transcends words. Mary's expression is one of both pride and sorrow as she gazes upon her resurrected son for what may be the last time on Earth. Her hands reach out towards him, longing to hold onto him just a little longer before he ascends into heaven. Jesus, too, displays a mix of emotions - compassion for his mother's pain but also determination as he prepares to fulfill his divine purpose. His hand gently rests on Mary's shoulder, offering comfort while silently assuring her that everything will be alright. This intimate scene serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by both mother and son for humanity's salvation. It is a testament to their unwavering faith and unconditional love for each other. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this exquisite print allows us to delve deeper into Michelangelo's creative process and appreciate his unparalleled ability to capture complex emotions in even the simplest sketches.
