EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jan Havicksz. Steen's masterpiece, "Christ in the House of Martha and Mary" painted around 1655. The artwork depicts a serene scene unfolding within the walls of a Dutch household. In this intimate interior setting, we witness two contrasting figures - Martha and Mary - engaged in their respective activities. Martha, portrayed with bustling energy, is seen busily preparing vegetables for a meal. Her focused expression reveals her dedication to domestic duties and hospitality. On the other hand, Mary sits at Christ's feet, completely absorbed by his teachings. Her posture exudes tranquility as she hangs onto every word that falls from his lips. The painting beautifully captures the tension between worldly responsibilities and spiritual devotion. It invites contemplation on how one should balance these aspects of life – whether to prioritize practical tasks or seek enlightenment through introspection.
