EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Adoration of Christ" a plate from Giulio Aleni's renowned work, "Tianzhu jiangsheng zhuxiang jingjie" (An Illustrated History of the Lord of Heaven Who Became Incarnate in the Flesh). Created by the Chinese School in the 17th century, this masterpiece measures 16.8x14.5 cm and is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Intriguingly, Giulio Aleni was not only a Jesuit missionary but also a distinguished scholar who published several works in China during his lifetime. This particular artwork captures an enchanting scene within Jinjiang Church located in Fujian Province, China. The image portrays a significant moment from Christian tradition – the adoration of baby Jesus. The landscape surrounding Jinjiang Church adds to its serene beauty as worshippers gather to pay homage to Christ's birth. The presence of Virgin Mary and her infant son evokes deep religious sentiments associated with Catholicism and Christianity as a whole. "The Adoration of Christ" serves as an exquisite representation of faith and devotion within Chinese culture. It highlights both the universal appeal and unique interpretations found within different religious traditions worldwide. This remarkable piece has been preserved over centuries and continues to inspire viewers with its profound spiritual significance. Its inclusion in the collection at Minneapolis Institute of Arts is thanks to Herschel V. Jones' generous gift in 1925. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art
