EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century drawing, titled "Christ and Mary Interceding with God the Father," is an enchanting depiction of the Holy Trinity in a poignant moment of divine intercession. The scene unfolds with Christ and the Virgin Mary, both in contemplative poses, seated before God the Father. Christ, in the role of Christ Antiphonetes or Christ the Intercessor, extends his arms towards his father in a gesture of supplication. Mary, the Mother of God, tenderly holds her son's hand, her gaze fixed on the Father in quiet prayer. The artist, unknown to us, masterfully employs black chalk and brown ink on laid paper to create an intricate and evocative image. The delicate lines and subtle shading bring depth and texture to the figures, while the use of contrasting light and dark areas adds depth and dimension to the composition. This drawing, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 15th century, is a profound expression of Christian faith and devotion. The figures, with their serene expressions and graceful postures, invite contemplation and reflection. The drawing is a precious addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, offering a glimpse into the artistic and spiritual traditions of the past. Originating from Germany, this pen and ink drawing is now part of the National Gallery of Art's extensive collection in Washington D.C. The drawing, with its timeless beauty and enduring significance, continues to inspire and captivate viewers, inviting them to ponder the mysteries of faith and the power of intercessory prayer.
