EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating masterpiece by the Cretan artist Franghias Kavertzas, dates back to the 17th century and showcases the rich artistic heritage of the Baroque era. This stunning work of art, which measures approximately 35.5 x 28.5 cm, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Cretan School, a significant artistic movement that flourished in Crete during the Venetian occupation. The painting depicts the Madonna and Child, with the Christ Child reaching out to touch the cheek of his mother, Mary Virgin. Surrounding them are two groups of children, one of boys and one of girls, who gaze up at the divine pair with reverence and awe. The circular composition of the painting, with its vibrant colors and intricate gold leaf detailing, draws the viewer in and invites contemplation. The influence of French art is evident in this work, as Kavertzas spent a significant portion of his career in France. The use of tempera and metal leaf techniques, popular in both the Cretan School and French Baroque art, adds to the painting's luminous quality and creates a sense of depth and texture. The Madonna and Child are depicted in the traditional Orthodox style, with Mary wearing a flowing robe and veil, and Jesus dressed in a tunic and swaddling clothes. The painting's title, "In You Rejoiceth," is derived from the Christ Antiphonetes, a hymn sung during Orthodox services. This artwork, now housed in the Petit Palais Museum in Paris, is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the Baroque era and the enduring influence of religious art on European culture. The image of the Madonna and Child, surrounded by the adoring gaze of the children, speaks to the universal themes of motherhood, family, and the divine love between parent and child.
