EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 1623 chiaroscuro woodcut from three blocks on paper, titled "Holy Family in an Oval Frame" by Ludolph Busing, offers a captivating depiction of the Holy Family in an intimate and tender moment. The German artist masterfully employs the technique of chiaroscuro, skillfully balancing light and shadow to create depth and texture. The central figure is the Virgin Mary, seated with her back against an ornate oval frame. She cradles the infant Jesus in her arms, gazing down at him with a loving and protective expression. To the left, Saint Joseph stands, his hand resting gently on the back of Mary's chair, his gaze fixed on his son. Two cherubic angels hover above the scene, their wings outstretched in adoration. The delicate folds of their robes and the intricate details of their halos add to the overall beauty and intricacy of the composition. This work, originally from Notre Dame du Folgoët in Brittany, France, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century. It is now part of the impressive collections at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The Holy Family in an Oval Frame is a poignant reminder of the importance of family and the enduring influence of religious art in shaping our cultural and historical landscape.
