EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a scene from the Bible's apocryphal text, The Infancy Gospel of James, titled "Mary Weds Joseph (or Fouquet)." In this story, Mary, who had committed herself to a lifelong virginity, is wedded to the elderly Joseph. The disappointment of Mary's rejected suitors is illustrated by their broken staffs, while Joseph's staff miraculously bursts into bloom. The image, dating back to the 1st century, is a testament to the rich history and enduring fascination with the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. This historical event, though not mentioned in the New Testament, has long been a subject of interest in religious and artistic circles. The elderly Joseph, with his wise and serene expression, stands proudly before Mary, who gazes at him with a look of acceptance and submission. The disappointed suitors, depicted in the background, are shown with expressions of shock and disbelief, their broken staffs symbolizing their shattered hopes. The staff of Joseph, which was once a simple, withered branch, now bursts forth in vibrant bloom, signifying the divine intervention and the miraculous nature of the union. The use of natural elements in the image, such as the lush greenery and the delicate flowers, adds to the ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere. This beautiful and intriguing print, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and complexities of religious art and symbolism. It invites us to reflect on the themes of commitment, virginity, and the unexpected twists and turns that life can take.
