EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from the early 17th century, showcasing the compassion and generosity of a queen in Jerusalem's temple. The Second School of Fontainebleau masterfully depicts this royal act of charity, highlighting the intricate details with pen and brown ink. In this image, we see a regal queen distributing alms to a crippled beggar amidst the grandeur of classical architecture. The architectural elements, such as spiraling columns and Solomonic pillars, add an air of majesty to the composition. Surrounding them are soldiers standing guard, symbolizing both protection and reverence for this noble act. The artist skillfully portrays the emotions on each character's face - gratitude on the beggar's countenance contrasting with empathy on the queen's visage. This study drawing showcases their interaction within an oval frame that further emphasizes their connection. Notably present are cherubim or putti figures hovering above them, representing divine intervention or blessings upon this charitable act. Their presence adds an ethereal touch to an already powerful scene. This artwork from "The Devonshire Collections" at Chatsworth House offers viewers a glimpse into historical acts of kindness in holy places like Jerusalem. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power can show compassion towards those less fortunate. Reproduced by permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees through Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to evoke empathy across centuries.
