EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for a recumbent figure of the Infant Christ, created by the renowned artist Giovanni Bellini. Measuring 20.6x28.5 cm, this brush drawing on paper is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The delicate lines and subtle shading of this artwork bring to life an intimate scene depicting Jesus as a young child lying down. Bellini's masterful use of brown wash heightened with white bodycolor on greyish-blue paper adds depth and dimension to this exquisite piece. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, particularly in capturing the intricate features of Christ's feet and legs. This sketch serves as a testament to Bellini's exceptional skill in portraying human anatomy. Dating back to either the 15th or 16th century, this study offers us a glimpse into Western art history and provides insight into how artists approached religious subjects during that time period. The innocence and serenity emanating from the infant Jesus invite viewers to reflect upon his significance within Christian iconography. Bridgeman Images has expertly reproduced this artwork, ensuring its preservation for future generations to admire and appreciate. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of Bellini's enduring legacy as one of Italy's most celebrated painters.
