Flemish Pear Regina Representation Rogier Tournai Triptych Virgin Weyden 15th Salve
Salve Regina
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning 15th-century triptych painting by the renowned Flemish artist Rogier van der Weyden (1400-1464). This masterpiece, currently housed in the Fine Arts Museum of Tournai, Belgium, is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Flemish School during the Late Middle Ages. The triptych consists of three interconnected panels, each adorned with rich colors and intricate details. The central panel showcases the Virgin Mary in a contemplative pose, cradling the infant Jesus in her arms. The Virgin's serene expression and the delicate folds of her robe convey a sense of grace and tranquility. The child Jesus, with his chubby cheeks and curious gaze, adds a touch of playfulness to the scene. The left panel depicts the donor, a pious layman, in prayer before the Virgin and Child. The right panel represents various saints and angels, offering prayers and paying homage to the holy mother and her son. The use of oil on wood technique adds depth and texture to the painting, making the figures appear lifelike and three-dimensional. The title "Salve Regina" refers to the hymn dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which begins with the words "Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy." This painting is a visual representation of the hymn's message, conveying the deep reverence and devotion the artist and the people of Tournai had for the Virgin Mary during the Middle Ages. The horizontal composition of the triptych, with its harmonious balance of colors and forms, invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and significance of the religious message conveyed in this masterpiece. The Fine Arts Museum of Tournai is proud to preserve and showcase this priceless work of art, which continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
