EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "St Anne Revealing to the Virgin the Prophecy of Isaiah" by Noel Halle. Painted in 1749, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 62.6x41.3 cm and is housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In this scene, Saint Anne, Mary's mother, imparts upon her daughter a significant prophecy from Isaiah: "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots". According to apocryphal texts, Mary is believed to be descended from Jesse through David. The young Mary listens intently as her mother shares this sacred knowledge with her. The painting beautifully depicts Saint Anne and Mary engaged in an intimate conversation amidst an ethereal setting. The soft brushstrokes bring life to their expressions and emotions, conveying both reverence and anticipation for what lies ahead. This artwork delves into biblical themes while also exploring elements of legend and mythology surrounding the genealogy of Jesus Christ. It serves as a testament to Halle's skillful portrayal of religious subjects and his ability to capture tender moments between figures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its significance within Christian tradition. It invites us to reflect on our own connections with ancestry and divine purpose while celebrating the bond between mother and child that transcends time itself.
