EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a biblical scene from the mid-late 19th century. Inspired by Matthew 2:11, it depicts the moment when the Magi presented gifts to the young child Jesus. The engraving is based on Nicolas Poussin's painting "Adoration of the Magi" from 1633. In this powerful image, we see Mary, mother of Jesus, holding her precious son on her lap. Three wise men kneel before them in awe and reverence. They have traveled far to witness this divine moment and offer their gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The architectural backdrop adds depth to the scene, evoking a sense of grandeur and importance. The stable where Jesus was born becomes a sacred space filled with faith and belief. Francis Holl's masterful execution brings out every intricate detail of this historical event. The composition beautifully captures the emotions felt by all present - Mary's tender love for her child, the wise men's humility as they worshiped him, and Jesus' innocence as he receives these royal offerings. This print serves as a reminder of the significance of Christmas - a time when we celebrate not only the birth of Christ but also acts of generosity and devotion that transcend time and culture. It invites us to reflect upon our own beliefs while appreciating this timeless biblical story depicted through Francis Holl's artistic lens.
