EDITORS COMMENTS
Ecce tu pulcher es Dilecte: A Reverential Depiction of the Infant Jesus and the Virgin Mary by Hieronymus Wierix This engraving, titled "Ecce tu pulcher es Dilecte," is a masterpiece by the renowned Flemish artist Hieronymus Wierix, hailing from the 16th and 17th centuries. The artwork is a profound representation of the biblical story of the Infancy of Christ, specifically focusing on the moment when the Virgin Mary presents the baby Jesus to the world. In this engraving, the artist has skillfully depicted the Madonna and Child, with the Virgin Mary cradling the baby Jesus in her arms. The Christ Child, in a state of deep slumber, is shown with a serene expression on his face, while his mother gazes at him with a mixture of love, adoration, and awe. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of St. Joseph, who is shown gesturing towards the infant with a reverent hand, emphasizing the significance of the moment. The Latin inscription at the bottom of the print, "Ecce tu pulcher es Dilecte," translates to "Behold, thou art fair, my beloved," a line from the Christ Antiphonetes, a collection of Marian hymns. This poetic phrase beautifully encapsulates the profound love and devotion that the artist has captured in this exquisite work of art. Originally from Flanders, Hieronymus Wierix was an influential figure in the world of Flemish art, known for his intricate engravings and illustrations. This particular piece, with its timeless beauty and biblical significance, continues to captivate audiences and inspire wonder and reverence, making it a must-see addition to any art collection or gallery exhibition.
