EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "St. Anne with Mary and the Child" by Israhel van Meckenem, the younger, is a stunning portrayal of three generations united in love and devotion. The artwork showcases St. Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, cradling her granddaughter, Jesus Christ. The intricate details and delicate lines bring this medieval scene to life as St. Anne sits on a beautifully enframed portal throne. The hierachy of scale emphasizes her importance as she gazes lovingly at Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms. The inscription on the print adds an extra layer of significance, reading "Hulp heilge Vrowe Sant Anna Self Drede" which translates to "Help holy Lady Saint Anne self-dread". This phrase highlights St. Anne's role as a protector and intercessor for those who seek her assistance. The composition not only celebrates the bond between grandmother, daughter, and grandson but also symbolizes important Christian values such as family unity and reverence for saints. It serves as a reminder of the profound influence that these figures had on religious beliefs during this period. This remarkable piece from a private collection allows us to appreciate Meckenem's skillful craftsmanship while providing insight into medieval Christian artistry. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of the enduring power of faith and familial love depicted within its frame.
