EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century print, titled "The Holy Family with Infant Saint John the Baptist Kneeling at Right," showcases the revered figures of the Christian faith in a tender and intimate moment. Anonymous artist Antonio Allegri, also known as Correggio, masterfully depicts the Holy Family - Mary Virgin, Jesus Christ, and Saint Joseph - as they embrace and protect the infant Jesus. The addition of Saint John the Baptist, who kneels at the right, adds an element of prophecy and continuity to the scene. The intricately detailed engraving highlights the warmth and humanity of each figure, with Mary's gentle gaze and Joseph's loving embrace of Jesus. The infant Jesus, with his cherubic features and curious expression, captivates the viewer's attention. Saint John the Baptist, dressed in camel's hair and holding a cross, gazes adoringly at the infant Jesus, foreshadowing his future role as the forerunner of Christ. This print, which dates back to the 1550-1600 timeframe, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Christian faith. The image has been preserved and passed down through the centuries, continuing to inspire and captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and message of love and devotion. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a renowned institution for the preservation and exhibition of historic art, houses this precious print in its collection, making it accessible to scholars, art enthusiasts, and visitors from around the world. This print is a reminder of the enduring power of art to connect us to our past, to inspire our present, and to shape our future.
