1486 Child Christianity Family Father Halo Holy Family Jesus Joseph Mother Virgin Mary Weaver Workshop

EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1486 depicts the Virgin Mary engaged in a humble act of weaving. Created by Johann Grashove for his book "Boek Van Der Bedroffenisse Marien" this artwork beautifully captures the essence of devotion and spirituality. In the image, we see Mary sitting at her loom, focused on her task with utmost concentration. Her delicate hands move gracefully as she weaves threads together, symbolizing not only her domesticity but also her role as a nurturing mother figure to Jesus. The halo above her head signifies her divinity and purity. Beside Mary stands Joseph, portrayed as a loving father figure, watching over their son Jesus who plays innocently nearby. This holy family unit is depicted with great tenderness and warmth, emphasizing their sacred bond. The woodcut technique used in this print adds an exquisite texture to the composition, enhancing its timeless appeal. The intricate details and fine lines showcase Grashove's skillful craftsmanship. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and family values within Christianity. It invites us to reflect upon the virtues embodied by Mary - strength, love, and devotion - while reminding us of our own responsibilities towards our loved ones.
