EDITORS COMMENTS
Adoration of the Christ Child," a masterpiece from the Circle of Jacopo del Sellaio, dates back to the late 15th or early 16th century. This exquisite oil on panel painting showcases the reverence and awe-inspiring moment when the infant Jesus is presented to the world, surrounded by the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and a gathering of angels and farm animals. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, reminiscent of the European countryside. The Christ Child, dressed in swaddling clothes, sits on a cushioned seat, reaching out to bless a small lamb, symbolizing the innocence and purity of the newborn. The Virgin Mary, with a serene expression, holds the Christ Child protectively, while St. Joseph looks on with pride and admiration. The painting is rich in symbolism and biblical references, with the angels in attendance representing the celestial choir, singing the Christ Antiphonetes, or the hymn of praise to the newborn King. The presence of St. Jerome, depicted with his characteristic lion, symbolizes the study and wisdom of the Bible, emphasizing the importance of the Christian faith in understanding and appreciating the significance of this scene. This painting, also known as "Adoration of the Christ Child" or "Our Lady of Folgoet," is a testament to the artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the Renaissance period. Its intricate details, vibrant colors, and emotional depth continue to captivate art enthusiasts and inspire wonder and reflection on the meaning of the Nativity story.
