EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Birth of Christ" by the Master of the Vyssi Brod Altar, dating back to the 14th century. Painted with tempera on wood, this masterpiece is housed in the esteemed National Gallery in Prague. The image captures a pivotal moment from the New Testament, depicting Mary and Joseph alongside baby Jesus in a humble manger. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors bring this biblical scene to life. The Virgin Mary tenderly cradles her newborn son while angels hover above, illuminating their presence with divine light. This Bohemian Gothic painting exudes a sense of serenity and reverence as it portrays one of Christianity's most cherished events. The print evokes a profound connection between viewers and this sacred moment in history. It serves as a reminder of the significance of Christmas and celebrates both faith and family bonds. Through its depiction of motherhood, it emphasizes Mary's role as not only Jesus' earthly mother but also as an icon for all mothers throughout time. Antonin Matejcek and Jaroslav Pesina expertly capture every brushstroke through their photography, allowing us to appreciate this medieval masterpiece even if we cannot witness it firsthand at the National Gallery. This print is an invaluable treasure that transports us back to Bethlehem over six centuries ago, reminding us of the enduring power behind religious artistry.
