1688 Biblical Christ Circumcision Gospel Jesus Luke Testament Circumcised
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-century print depicts the Circumcision of Jesus, an event described in the New Testament book of Luke (2:21). The scene unfolds in a warm and intimate setting, with the infant Jesus lying on a soft cushion as an elderly Simeon tenderly holds him. Joseph, dressed in a simple tunic and turban, looks on with a mixture of awe and pride. The circumciser, a rabbi or priest, stands to the side, holding the necessary tools for the ritual. The Virgin Mary, her face veiled, watches intently, her expression one of quiet devotion. The room is filled with the gentle light filtering in through the open window, casting a soft glow over the figures and creating a sense of peace and reverence. The Circumcision of Jesus is a significant event in Christian theology, symbolizing the fulfillment of Old Testament law and the beginning of Jesus' earthly life. This beautiful print captures the tenderness and reverence of the moment, inviting viewers to contemplate the divine nature of the infant Jesus and the importance of faith and obedience in their own lives. This print, dating from 1688, is a testament to the enduring power of art to convey the spiritual and emotional depth of biblical stories. The intricate details, from the folds of the robes to the expressive faces of the figures, transport us back in time and invite us to reflect on the deeper meaning of this important biblical narrative.
