EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Virgin Mourning the Dead Christ" by Cesare Targone, an Italian artist active in the late 16th century. The piece originates from Venice, Italy and belongs to the Veneto region of Europe. Created between 1586 and 1587, this masterpiece is framed in a stunning black and gold wood frame dating back to around 1850. The focal point of this artwork is a repousse gold relief set against an obsidian background. The intricate details of the gold relief bring life to the scene as it depicts the Virgin Mary mourning over her deceased son, Jesus Christ. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable, with every delicate curve and expression conveying deep sorrow and grief. The juxtaposition of materials - precious gold against dark obsidian - adds a sense of contrast that enhances the emotional impact of this religious subject matter. It evokes a solemn atmosphere that invites contemplation and reflection on themes such as loss, faith, and redemption. This print allows us to appreciate Targone's artistic genius even centuries after its creation. It serves as a testament to his skillful technique and ability to capture raw human emotions through his work. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness one mother's profound anguish at losing her beloved child - an enduring symbol of love transcending death itself.
