EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment when Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Virgin Mary, choose a lamb for sacrifice. Painted by Hans Fries in 1512, this tempera on canvas laid down on wood artwork is housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. Part of an altarpiece dedicated to Saint Mary, this panel depicts a scene from the apocryphal story where Joachim and Anne learn that they will bear a child. The couple stands before a selection of lambs, symbolizing their gratitude and devotion to God. The painting showcases late Gothic influences with its intricate details and rich colors. It belongs to the Northern Renaissance period, characterized by its focus on religious themes and biblical narratives. As viewers gaze upon this piece, they are transported back in time to witness this significant event in Christian history. The image evokes feelings of reverence and awe as we contemplate the faith and sacrifice depicted within it. Framed within an altarpiece context, this painting serves as a visual reminder of religious devotion during medieval times. Its inclusion in an altar setting would have provided worshippers with inspiration for prayer and reflection. Overall, Fries' masterpiece offers us a glimpse into biblical storytelling while showcasing his exceptional talent as an artist. This print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty today.
