EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Funerary stela of the Sacquespee family" from the St. Nicaise cemetery in Arras, France. Created in 1376 by an anonymous French artist belonging to the 14th-century school, this monumental piece stands at an impressive size of 219x161x19 cm. The stela is carved out of Tournai stone and features a remarkable relief depicting various elements that symbolize mourning and religious devotion. At its center, we see a beautifully sculpted image of a praying virgin holding her child, infant Christ. The delicate details bring forth a sense of tranquility and reverence. Adorned with intricate coats of arms, this medieval masterpiece pays homage to the Sacquespee family who commissioned it as their funerary monument. The inclusion of children within the composition suggests both familial ties and innocence lost too soon. With its Gothic style, this stela exemplifies the artistic sensibilities prevalent during that era. Its craftsmanship serves as a testament to the skillful hands that brought it into existence centuries ago. Currently housed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Arras, France, this photograph captures not only its physical beauty but also preserves an important historical artifact for future generations to appreciate and study.
