EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, Lucas van Leyden beautifully captures the tender embrace of St. Joachim and St. Anna in 1520. The engraving showcases the artist's mastery in depicting human emotions and capturing intimate moments. St. Joachim, a dutiful father figure, wraps his arms around his wife, St. Anna, symbolizing their unbreakable bond as husband and wife. Their love radiates through the image as they stand united in faith and devotion to each other. The artwork pays homage to their roles as parents of Mary, the mother of God. It is a poignant representation of family values and the importance of nurturing relationships within marriage. Lucas van Leyden's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique - from the intricate patterns on their garments to the delicate expressions on their faces. Through this work, he not only celebrates Christian heritage but also highlights elements of Jewish culture with references to Hebrew traditions. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Renaissance masterpiece invites viewers into a world where religion intertwines with personal connections. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or religious affiliations; it transcends time and place. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Lucas van Leyden, we are reminded that embracing one another with compassion and understanding is an eternal testament to our shared humanity
