The Virgin and Child under an Apple Tree
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by Lucas Cranach the Elder, painted between 1520-26. This exquisite oil on canvas print, transferred from panel, showcases the tender bond between Jesus Christ as an infant and his mother Mary. Set against a stunning rural landscape with lush greenery, the painting depicts Mary cradling baby Jesus in her lap under the shade of an apple tree. The symbolism of apples in this artwork alludes to Eve's original sin in the Garden of Eden, contrasting with Mary's purity and divine role as the Mother of God. Cranach's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he captures both the innocence of Jesus' cherubic face and Mary's serene expression. The composition beautifully balances religious iconography with natural elements. This remarkable piece resides at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts worldwide. Its dimensions of 87x59 cm make it a modest yet impactful work that highlights Cranach's mastery. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its profound spiritual significance. "The Virgin and Child under an Apple Tree" invites us to contemplate themes such as love, redemption, and faith through its symbolic portrayal of divinity amidst nature's beauty.
