EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Destroy the dragon without sword; (Dan. 14.25); Virgin and Child on hemisphere" by Johann Jakob Frey the Elder. The image transports us to a realm of divine beauty, where angels, cherubs, and mythical creatures coexist in harmony. The central focus of the artwork is the serene depiction of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus on a hemisphere. Their ethereal presence is accentuated by billowing clouds that surround them, creating an atmosphere of heavenly tranquility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he captures their tender bond with remarkable precision. Intriguingly, this piece also portrays a powerful narrative element - the destruction of a dragon without using a sword - referencing Daniel 14:25 from biblical scripture. This symbolic representation speaks volumes about triumph over evil forces through unconventional means. Johann Jakob Frey's artistic prowess shines through his masterful etching and engraving techniques employed in this work. Each line adds depth and dimension to both human figures and mythical beasts alike, showcasing his exceptional skill as an artist. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historical masterpiece invites viewers into a world where spirituality intertwines with artistry seamlessly. It serves as a testament to Frey's ability to capture profound religious themes while simultaneously creating visually stunning compositions. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring print, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with faith, mythology, and our collective desire for transcendence beyond earthly realms.
