EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Charles Le Brun's masterpiece, "The Sleeping Christ" painted in 1655. The oil on canvas artwork depicts the serene and tender moment of Jesus as an infant, peacefully slumbering while cradled by his mother, the Virgin Mary. This particular section of the painting focuses on the intimate connection between Jesus and his cousin, John the Baptist, who is seen kneeling beside him in adoration. The scene takes place within a warm and inviting interior setting where Joseph stands nearby, observing this sacred moment with reverence. A brazier gently illuminates their surroundings with a soft glow, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and devotion. Elizabeth, John's mother and Mary's relative, can also be seen engrossed in prayer at the edge of the frame. Adding to the charm of this composition is a curious cat playfully exploring its surroundings. This delightful inclusion adds an element of innocence and domesticity to this divine tableau. Le Brun masterfully captures not only religious symbolism but also portrays familial love and tenderness through this depiction. The delicate brushwork highlights every intricate detail with precision. Displayed at Louvre Museum in Paris, France; this timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers with its profound portrayal of faith and familial bonds.
