EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the left outside shutter of the Descent from the Cross triptych, a masterpiece created by renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens between 1611 and 1614. The panel, measuring an impressive 420x150 cm, is housed in the Onze Lieve Vrouwkerk, Antwerp Cathedral in Belgium. In this particular image, we are drawn to St. Christopher and the Hermit, two figures depicted with incredible detail and skill. St. Christopher stands tall and muscular, his beard flowing as he carries a staff while wading through water illuminated by a crescent moon. His powerful wings symbolize his divine nature as he assists travelers on their journeys. Beside him stands the reclusive Hermit, portrayed as a wise old man holding a lamp that casts an ethereal glow upon his face. Together they represent solitude and guidance within wilderness settings. Rubens' mastery of baroque style is evident in every brushstroke; capturing both movement and emotion effortlessly. This flemish artist's ability to bring life to religious subjects has solidified his place among art history's greats. Through this print by Hugo Maertens for Art in Flanders, viewers can appreciate not only Rubens' artistic brilliance but also experience the grandeur of this altarpiece firsthand. It serves as a reminder of how art has the power to transport us across time and space into worlds filled with beauty and spirituality.
