EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of Christ's farewell to the holy women, a scene that resonates with deep belief and faith. The painting, housed in the esteemed Art History Museum in Vienne, Germany, is a testament to the enduring power of Christianity and its central figure, Jesus Christ. Rendered during the Renaissance period by Lucas Cranach the Elder, this oil on wood masterpiece depicts Mary Magdalene and two other devoted disciples bidding farewell to their beloved teacher. As they witness Christ's ascension into heaven after his resurrection, their loyalty and devotion shine through their expressions. The image evokes a sense of awe as it portrays one of Christianity's most significant events - an event that symbolizes salvation and new beginnings. The three holy women portrayed here are often referred to as "the three Marys" or "myrrhbearers" representing Mary Magdalene along with two other Maries mentioned in biblical accounts. Cranach masterfully captures this glorious mystery through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow. Each brushstroke brings forth a palpable sense of reverence for this pivotal moment in Christian history. As we contemplate this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Images' collection at Heritage Images, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its timeless message: that even amidst sorrowful farewells lies hope for eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
