EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable sculpture known as the "Virgin of Mercy to Christ who died". Created between 1510 and 1520 in the South Tyrol region, this artwork is a true testament to the skill and artistry of the Italian School from the 16th century. Preserved at the Musee Bonnat de Bayonne in France, it stands as a powerful representation of faith and devotion. The sculpture features intricately carved figures made from painted and gilded wood. The Virgin Mary, depicted as Our Lady of Mercy, cradles her son Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. The pain and sorrow on her face are palpable, conveying both maternal love and profound grief. Every detail in this piece tells a story - from the delicate folds of their garments to the serene expressions on their faces. It is evident that great care was taken by its creator to capture every nuance with precision. Leonard de Selva's photography perfectly captures this masterpiece, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even if they cannot see it firsthand. Through his lens, we can examine each brushstroke and texture up close, immersing ourselves in this poignant moment from biblical history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring power of religious art and its ability to evoke deep emotions within us all.
