"Agnus Dei: Depictions of Divine Innocence and Redemption" The concept of Agnus Dei, meaning "Lamb of God" in Latin, has been a recurring theme in art throughout history. Artists have sought to capture the essence of this symbolic figure, representing purity, sacrifice, and salvation. One notable portrayal is Raphael's masterpiece "The Holy Family with a Lamb" from 1507. The painting showcases the Virgin Mary tenderly holding baby Jesus while a lamb rests peacefully at their feet. This image beautifully illustrates the connection between Christ as the sacrificial lamb and his role within the Holy Family. Moving forward to 1865, we encounter an exquisite design by an unknown artist for a stained glass window at St Edmund Hall in Oxford titled "The Worship of the Lamb. " This intricate pencil drawing depicts angels surrounding a majestic lamb on an altar, evoking feelings of reverence and adoration. In another interpretation by Yumi Sugai titled "Angel with Lamb of God, " we witness a contemporary take on Agnus Dei. The angel delicately cradles a small lamb symbolizing divine innocence amidst chaos. A significant reference to they are be found in various panels from the Ghent Altarpiece. One such panel is "Copy of The Adoration of Mystic Lamb, " where worshippers gather around the central figure representing Christ's redemptive sacrifice. "The Three Angels" mosaic also portrays elements related to Agnus Dei within its depiction of Abraham's hospitality towards celestial beings. It serves as both an allegory for divine intervention and foreshadowing Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Moreover, Giovanni di Paolo's work titled "Ecce Agnus Dei" captures attention with its vivid colors and detailed rendering. This piece emphasizes Christ as both innocent victim and triumphant savior through his portrayal as the Lamb surrounded by heavenly figures.
