EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century print, titled "Mary Magdalen Transported by Four Angels" is a remarkable piece of art that showcases the unknown German maker's talent and creativity. Created around 1485-1490, this pen and black ink drawing with white gouache highlights on reddish-brown grounded paper measures approximately 17 x 16.2 cm (6 11/16 x 6 3/8 in. ). The artwork depicts Mary Magdalen being carried aloft by four ethereal angels, their wings gracefully unfurled as they transport her through the heavens. The artist skillfully captures the sense of divine intervention and spiritual transcendence in this scene. The use of pen and ink allows for intricate details to be delicately etched onto the reddish-brown background, while the subtle application of white gouache highlights adds depth and luminosity to the figures' forms. This combination creates a visually striking contrast that enhances both the heavenly beings and Mary Magdalen herself. As we gaze upon this ancient masterpiece, we are transported back in time to an era where religious devotion was at its peak. The meticulous craftsmanship displayed here serves as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during Germany's Renaissance period. Whether you appreciate it from an artistic or historical perspective, this print offers a glimpse into a world long gone but forever preserved through its enduring beauty. It stands as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past and continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless allure.
