EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 16th century painting, created by Cornelius Engebrechtsz around 1505-1510, captures the poignant scene of Christ's crucifixion with the sorrowful presence of His mother, the Virgin Mary, and the beloved apostles John and St. John the Evangelist. The tender gaze of Mary, depicted here as the "Mater Dolorosa," or "Mother of Sorrows," is fixed on her crucified Son, her heart pierced by a sword of sorrow. St. John, the apostle and evangelist, often referred to as "the Beloved Disciple," leans in to comfort Mary Magdalene, who weeps at the foot of the cross. The inclusion of Sts. Cecilia and Barbara adds a layer of depth to this profound composition. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, is shown with a musical instrument, symbolizing her devotion and the spiritual harmony that comes from faith. Barbara, the patron saint of artisans and those seeking a miraculous escape from persecution, is depicted with a palm leaf and a tower, representing her martyrdom and her triumph over adversity. The rich colors and intricate details in this oil on panel painting reveal the masterful skill of Cornelius Engebrechtsz, a Dutch artist of the Low Countries. The painting, which was once part of the collection at Notre Dame du Folgoët in France, is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the profound impact of the crucifixion on the hearts and minds of believers during the 1500s.
