EDITORS COMMENTS
Miracle of the Host" is a captivating pen and ink drawing on ivory laid paper by the renowned artists Jan van Scorel and Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder, hailing from the 16th century. This evocative work of art, held in the esteemed collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, transports us back to the Baroque era with its intricate details and rich heritage. The drawing depicts a group of men gathered around a fireside, their eyes fixed on a small, ornate fireplace where a miraculous event is unfolding. The central focus of the composition is the Eucharist, represented by a monstrance held aloft by an angel. The hosts within the monstrance seem to shimmer with an ethereal glow, as if imbued with divine light. Jan van Scorel, a prominent Netherlandish artist, masterfully captures the dramatic moment with his skillful use of pen and black ink, enhanced by delicate blue wash. His collaborator, Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder, adds his expertise in the intricate details of the men's clothing and facial expressions. The men, seated around the fireside, are deeply engrossed in the miraculous event, their faces expressing awe, reverence, and wonder. The drawing's black and white palette adds to the sense of mystery and otherworldliness, transporting us to an era where the power of Christianity was a daily reality. This drawing, a testament to the artistic prowess of Jan van Scorel and Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder, continues to inspire and intrigue viewers with its masterful composition, intricate details, and timeless themes.
