Zes fotoreproducties van een publicatie door de Arundel Society met prenten naar Pinturicchio before 1869

Here are six photo reproductions of a publication by the Arundel Society featuring prints after Pinturicchio. Notice the dominant theme: the Adoration of the Christ Child. It is a motif that appears across various cultures. The kneeling figures, the gifts, and the divine child—all echo ancient rituals and the worship of nature's rebirth. Consider how this scene resurfaces in Byzantine icons, Roman frescoes, and even pre-Christian fertility rites. The bent heads of the figures evoke a sense of humility, a gesture we see repeated through time. The Virgin's protective embrace is a timeless representation that elicits empathy and a sense of shared humanity. These echoes resonate in our collective memory, touching something primal within us. Such images tap into deep wells of human emotion, reflecting our longing for peace, hope, and redemption, echoing across centuries in an infinite regress.
