EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Iron Age: the law of the grace of the New Testament" showcases a remarkable collaboration between Hieronymus Wierix and Pieter Balten. Created sometime between 1563 and 1580, this piece delves into various themes such as war, rapine, doctrine, divine grace, and mercy. At first glance, one's attention is immediately drawn to the central figure seated on a throne adorned with seven seals. This representation alludes to John's revelation in the Bible and symbolizes Christ as the fountain of life. A water basin rests on an arm extending from Christ's side while a beaten cross serves as his support. Surrounding this powerful imagery is an array of elements that further enrich its meaning. The Dutch, Latin, and French inscriptions emphasize its universal significance while iron symbolizes strength within the context of the Iron Age. Notably, a naked kneeling boy occupies a prominent position in front of Christ's lap. This feminine personification embodies both grace and testament simultaneously - representing divine qualities inherent in humanity. "The Iron Age: The Law of Grace" invites viewers to contemplate profound theological concepts through visual storytelling. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this masterpiece from Liszt Collection for us to appreciate its intricate details and thought-provoking symbolism.
