EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Altarpiece of the Holy Kinship" central panel, a remarkable masterpiece found in the esteemed Collection of Stadtische Galerie im Stadelschen Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Painted during the Renaissance period by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), this oil on wood artwork depicts a profound scene from the New Testament. At its heart lies an enchanting portrayal of Mary, known as Madonna, tenderly cradling her divine infant Christ child. Standing beside them is Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary and grandmother to Jesus. This depiction is commonly referred to as Anna Selbdritt or Holy Kinship. The painting also features four apostles: James the Greater, Simon Zelotes (also known as Simon Kananaios or Cananeus), Jude Thaddaeus (also called Jude of James or Judas Thaddaeus), and James the Less. Each figure contributes to this sacred gathering with their distinctive presence and expressions. Through Cranach's masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, this artwork emanates a sense of reverence and spirituality that captivates viewers even today. The delicate colors and meticulous composition further enhance its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured by Fine Art Images, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous meeting between generations—a testament to faith and devotion that continues to inspire awe across centuries.
