EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the 15th century and introduced to "The Second of the Foolish Virgins" by Martin Schongauer. This exquisite engraving, created by the talented German artist himself, showcases his mastery of detail and storytelling. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to a young woman standing at the center of the composition. She is one of the foolish virgins mentioned in biblical parables who failed to bring enough oil for their lamps. With a look of despair on her face, she clutches her empty lamp tightly as darkness surrounds her. Schongauer's attention to intricacy is evident in every aspect of this piece. From delicate lines that define each strand of hair and fold in her garments, to subtle shading that adds depth and dimensionality, he brings life into his creation. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also preserves an important part of German heritage art history. It serves as a testament to Schongauer's contribution to artistic development during his time. Displayed proudly at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this remarkable print from Heritage Images allows us all an opportunity to appreciate and reflect upon Schongauer's talent while immersing ourselves in a moment frozen forever through his engravings.
