Mary as Woman of the Apocalypse

[ translate ]

Franco-Flemish Master, c. 1450. The main image with a semicircular end shows Mary with the baby Jesus as an apocalyptic woman on the crescent moon (Apk. 12, 1-5). Her blue coat with green lining is pulled over her blonde hair. The cloak is also pulled over the head of the naked baby Jesus. The lighting and the text field are surrounded by a rich floral decoration. Rowan berries can be seen at the top left among the fancy tendrils. The blue cornflower in the lower right is a symbol of Mary and represents purity and loyalty. A deer is depicted in the diamond-shaped field below. He probably refers to Psalm verse 41,2 (42.2): "As the deer yearns for fresh water, so my soul, God, yearns for you." Enlightenment with Mary and the child adorns the beginning of a Marian prayer from the Book of Hours. The beginning of the text reads: "Obsecro te domina sancta maria mater dei pietate plenis [sima] ..." (I beg you, Lady Holy Mary, Mother of God, mother full of piety).Stylistically, the page can be dated to around 1450-1460 based on lighting and decoration. Watercolor, gold paint, on parchment, 16 x 12,5, with frame 27 x 21 cm
Dimensions: cm
