EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print, titled "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and Joseph," is an anonymous work attributed to either Boetius Adams Bolswert or Schelte a Bolswert. The intricately engraved image portrays the Holy Family in a tender and intimate setting. The Virgin Mary, seated on a throne, cradles the infant Christ in her arms, while her mother, Saint Anne, supports her from behind. Joseph, with a gentle expression, looks on from the side. This composition is based on the New Testament account of the visit of the elderly Anne to her daughter's house, where she held the infant Jesus and marveled at his divine nature. The print is a beautiful example of the artistic and cultural heritage of the 17th century, reflecting the deep reverence and devotion to the biblical characters and the Christian faith during this period. The print's black and white contrast adds to its timeless and classic appeal, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, among other esteemed institutions, has showcased similar works, further emphasizing its historical and artistic significance.
