EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the mesmerizing artwork titled "Guigone de Salins, wife of the donor, Chancellor Nicholas Rolin, Kneeling in Prayer" by Rogier van der Weyden. This masterpiece is a part of the Last Judgement polyptych and dates back to around 1445-50. In this image, we see Guigone de Salins, elegantly dressed and adorned with a regal headdress, kneeling in deep prayer. Positioned against a richly detailed background featuring her husband's coat of arms and an angelic figure holding keys and a castle symbolizing salvation. Guigone's pious devotion is evident as she rests her hands on a prie-dieu while clutching onto a bible. This profound portrayal captures not only Guigone's religious fervor but also highlights her significant role as the wife of Chancellor Nicholas Rolin. The attention to detail in Van der Weyden's brushstrokes brings forth an air of solemnity and reverence that resonates with viewers even centuries later. Housed at Musee de l'Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune, France, this remarkable piece can be seen when the altarpiece is closed. Its historical significance combined with its artistic brilliance makes it an invaluable treasure for art enthusiasts worldwide.
