EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cornelis de Wael's masterpiece, "Cycle of the Seven Works of Corporal Mercy: Visiting the Sick" (The Visit to the Sick in Pammatone). Painted between 1640-47, this oil on canvas artwork measures 99x152 cm and is currently housed in Musei di Strada Nuova, Genoa, Liguria, Italy. De Wael's artistry beautifully captures a scene filled with compassion and devotion. Set within a hospital dormitory in Genoa during the 17th century, numerous individuals can be seen engaging in acts of charity and kindness towards those suffering from illness. The painting reflects the strong influence of Christian beliefs and emphasizes the importance of caring for others. The vibrant colors used by De Wael bring life to this poignant depiction. The faithful believers are portrayed with fidelity as they selflessly visit and tend to the sick. This Flemish artist masterfully combines elements of faith, generosity, and morality to create a powerful representation that resonates even today. Through his baroque style and attention to detail, De Wael invites viewers into a world where empathy reigns supreme. This work not only serves as an exquisite example of Flemish art but also highlights the enduring significance of charitable acts within society. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of our shared responsibility to care for one another regardless of time or place. It serves as a timeless reminder that kindness knows no boundaries – it is universal and everlasting.
