EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork titled "Holy Family with Christ Child Stepping on Serpent" by Laurent de la Hyre, created in 1639. The image beautifully captures the essence of this religious masterpiece, which depicts the Holy Family - Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. In this scene, we witness a powerful representation of Christian symbolism as the infant Christ confidently steps on a serpent. This symbolizes his triumph over evil and serves as a reminder of his divine mission to save humanity from sin. Surrounding them are cherubs or amorini, angelic figures that add an ethereal touch to the composition. Laurent de la Hyre's attention to detail is evident in every element of this artwork. From the delicate expressions on each figure's face to the intricate etching technique used to create texture and depth, it is clear why this piece has become an important part of French heritage art. The serene natural setting adds tranquility to the scene while also emphasizing its timeless significance. A tree stands tall behind Mary and Joseph, representing growth and stability rooted in faith. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate Laurent de la Hyre's artistic genius while providing a glimpse into religious devotion during that era. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and spiritual inspiration that continues to resonate with viewers today.
