EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a closed altarpiece, painted by the renowned Flemish artist Rogier van der Weyden. Titled "View of the panels of the closed altarpiece, depicting the Annunciation and saints" this masterpiece dates back to 1460-66 and is currently housed in Eglise de Saint-Martin in Ambierle, France. The central panel portrays an angel gracefully delivering the momentous news of the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary. Surrounding them are various saints who add depth and symbolism to this religious composition. On the left side stands Saint Anne, cradling her daughter Mary who holds baby Jesus tenderly. To their right is Saint Catherine of Alexandria, known for her wisdom and martyrdom. Next to her is Saint Martha taming a fearsome creature called Tarasque with hymns and prayers. Lastly, we see Saint Martin dressed as a bishop, representing his patronage over Ambierle's church. The use of oil on panel technique brings out exquisite details in this polyptych artwork. The grayscale palette enhances its timeless beauty while lilies symbolize purity and devotion throughout Christian art history. This print not only captures van der Weyden's exceptional talent but also offers viewers a glimpse into medieval religious iconography that continues to inspire awe today.
