EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite masterpiece known as "Pieta" created around 1400 by the talented artist Malouel or Maelwael, Jean. The artwork, measuring 64.5 cm in diameter, is housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The painting depicts a profound scene of grief and sorrow as the Virgin Mary cradles her lifeless son, Jesus Christ. With delicate brushstrokes and masterful use of oil on panel technique, Malouel captures every emotion etched on their faces. The round composition adds to its uniqueness and is often referred to as "La Grande Pieta ronde de Bourgogne". An angel hovers above them with a solemn expression while blood drips from Jesus' wounds onto his mother's hands—a poignant reminder of his sacrifice for humanity's salvation. St. John stands beside them, his face filled with anguish at witnessing this tragic moment. The colors used in this piece are rich and vibrant—burgundy hues dominate the background while contrasting beautifully with Mary's blue robe and Jesus' pale skin. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every intricate detail of this Netherlandish masterpiece that has stood the test of time. It serves as a powerful reminder of love, loss, faith, and redemption—an eternal symbol that continues to resonate with viewers across centuries.
