EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "The Lactation of St. Bernard" an engraving created by Master I. A. M. of Zwolle in the late 15th century. The artwork, measuring 32x24.1 cm, is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. According to a legendary tale from the 14th century, St. Bernard fervently prayed before a statue of the Madonna lactans (the nursing Madonna). As he uttered the words "monstra te esse matrem" (Show yourselves to be a mother), an astonishing miracle unfolded before his eyes - the statue miraculously came to life. In this church interior scene depicted within the engraving, we witness Mary seated on a throne with her divine child, Jesus Christ. Saint Bernard humbly kneels before her with his staff and book in hand, seeking solace and guidance through prayer. A remarkable detail unfolds as milk sprays from Mary's breast onto St. Bernard's forehead - symbolizing nourishment for both body and soul. This mystical act further emphasizes Mary's role as a compassionate mother figure within Christianity. "The Lactation of St. Bernard" serves as a powerful testament to faith and devotion while showcasing Netherlandish artistry at its finest. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary event that continues to inspire believers around the world today.
