EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the late 15th century, witnessing a deeply emotional and poignant moment between Christ and his mother. Created by Aelbrecht Bouts around 1490, "Christ Showing His Mother the Nail Wounds in His Hands" is a masterpiece of early Netherlandish art. The painting depicts an intimate scene where Jesus tenderly reveals his nail wounds to Mary. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the raw emotion on both their faces. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the weight of their shared sorrow and profound love. Bouts skillfully uses light and shadow to enhance the dramatic impact of this sacred encounter. The blood of Christ is vividly depicted as it trickles from his hands onto Mary's lap, symbolizing not only his sacrifice but also her role as the mother of God. This artwork beautifully portrays Mary's humility as she gazes at her son with compassion and acceptance. It serves as a reminder of her unwavering faith even in the face of unimaginable pain. Housed within Nivaagaards Malerisamling collection, this oil on wood painting continues to captivate viewers with its spiritual power and artistic brilliance. Through Bouts' masterful technique, he invites us into this sacred moment between mother and son – a testament to enduring love amidst suffering.
