EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gerard David's masterpiece, "Saint John the Baptist; Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata" created around 1485-90. The painting is a remarkable example of Northern Renaissance art and depicts two significant figures in Christianity. In the left panel, we see Saint John the Baptist, known for baptizing Jesus Christ. He stands with poise and gestures towards a lamb, symbolizing Jesus as the Lamb of God. His intense gaze and barefoot appearance convey his devotion to his religious calling. On the right panel, we witness Saint Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata - miraculous wounds resembling those suffered by Christ during his crucifixion. With hands raised in awe and humility, he kneels before an ethereal vision that represents this divine experience. The vibrant colors used by David bring out both saints' spiritual fervor and their connection to God. The central panel of this triptych is missing from this particular print but would have likely depicted a scene related to these two saints or possibly an image of Christ himself. Gerard David's attention to detail and skillful use of oil on wood create a visually stunning artwork that transports viewers back to fifteenth-century Netherlandish culture. This piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence within the Renaissance period.
