EDITORS COMMENTS
Francesco Fontebasso's 'Birth of the Virgin' is an exquisite 18th century Italian drawing that captures the tender and sacred moment of the Virgin Mary's birth. The depiction is filled with the warmth and innocence of new life, as cherubic angels and amorini, or cupid figures, surround the newborn Mary, cradled in the arms of her mother, Saint Anne. The drawing is executed in pen and brown ink, with brown wash and white highlights on prepared laid paper. The intricate details and delicate shading bring the figures to life, with the brown ink adding depth and texture to the image. The use of black and white adds to the antique and historic feel of the artwork, transporting the viewer back to the eighteenth century. This illustration is a beautiful example of the artistic heritage and cultural significance of the Christian faith during this period, and is a cherished addition to any art collection or gallery exhibition. The drawing is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
