EDITORS COMMENTS
The Visitation," a captivating 15th century artwork by the enigmatic Master ES, offers a profound depiction of the biblical scene where the Virgin Mary pays a visit to her cousin Saint Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. This evocative print, believed to have been created between 1450 and 1460, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the German artist, whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. The image, reminiscent of an engraving, transports us to a time long past, as we witness the tender moment of connection between two revered figures in Christian faith. Mary, the Mother of God, gracefully holds out her hand in greeting, while Saint Elizabeth, clad in a flowing robe, reaches towards her, their hands meeting in a gesture of unity and sisterhood. The intricately drawn figures, with their expressive faces and detailed clothing, reveal the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of human emotion and devotion. The composition, set against a grey backdrop, emphasizes the sacred nature of the encounter, as the two women share a moment of profound connection, foreshadowing the births of Jesus and John the Baptist. This exquisite print, a national treasure from Germany, is now housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The Visitation, a timeless masterpiece by Master ES, stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us across time and space, and to connect us with the rich heritage of human creativity and spirituality. The image evokes the serene beauty of Notre Dame du Folgoet in France, Our Lady of Mariazell in Austria, or Our Lady of Refuge in Switzerland, as the figures of Mary and Elizabeth embody the spirit of Stella Maris, the Star of the Sea, and Santa or Santo Maria, the Holy Mary, revered as protectors and sources of comfort and solace in Christian traditions.
