EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite print of 'The Adoration of the Magi' by William Blake (1757-1827), we are transported to a serene and mystical scene in Bethlehem's humble stable. The year is unknown, but the era is unmistakably 18th century England, where Christianity was flourishing.
As three wise men - Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar - approach the newborn Jesus Christ with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Matthew 2:1-12), they are met by a radiant Virgin Mary and her devoted husband Joseph. The Holy Family is bathed in an ethereal light, as if divine guidance illuminates their sacred presence.
Blake's masterful brushstrokes bring to life the tender moment when humanity first acknowledges Jesus' divinity. A majestic ox stands watchfully at the edge of the scene, a symbol of strength and loyalty. Meanwhile, several figures - including Mary Magdalene and other anonymous worshippers - kneel in adoration, their faces aglow with reverence.
This stunning print is not only an homage to Blake's poetic genius but also a testament to his deep devotion to Christianity. The artist's use of colour and composition creates a sense of intimacy and awe, drawing the viewer into this sacred moment from centuries past.
