EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century print, titled "The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist," is an anonymous work of art that showcases the revered figures of Christianity in a tender and intimate scene. The composition features the Holy Family - Mary, Jesus, and Joseph - in the presence of Saint John the Baptist, who is depicted as a young boy. The Madonna, with her serene expression and outstretched hand, cradles the infant Jesus, who gazes up at John the Baptist with curiosity. Joseph, a strong and protective figure, looks on with a gentle smile. The intricate details of the etching reveal the skillful hand of the artist, likely Bartolomeo Schedoni or one of his followers. The print is reminiscent of the New Testament account of their encounter, when the young John identified Jesus as the "Lamb of God." This beautiful work of art, with its biblical significance and historical value, is a testament to the enduring influence of Christian heritage and the rich cultural traditions of the past. The print is currently on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, adding to the vast collection of art and history that tells the story of humanity.
