EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Altarpiece of the Holy Kinship (left wing)" painted in 1509. Housed in the esteemed collection of Stadtische Galerie im Stadelschen Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, this Renaissance masterpiece is a testament to the skill and artistry of Lucas Cranach the Elder. At its heart lies the iconic image of Mary, known as Madonna or Mother of God, tenderly cradling her divine child Jesus. The painting also features Anne or Anna, mother of the Virgin Mary and grandmother to Jesus. This depiction highlights their sacred bond and emphasizes their role within biblical narratives. The altarpiece further includes various apostles such as James the Greater and Lesser, Simon Zelotes or Simon Kananaios, Jude Thaddaeus or Judas Thaddaeus along with other significant figures like James the Younger and Saint Simon. Their presence adds depth to this holy scene while symbolizing unity among early Christian communities. Rendered meticulously on wood using oil paints, Cranach's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The vibrant colors bring life to each character while capturing a sense of serenity that permeates throughout. This print preserves not only an exquisite work of art but also offers viewers a glimpse into religious devotion during the Renaissance period. It serves as a reminder that these timeless masterpieces continue to inspire awe and reverence today.
