Description |
English: Jordaens’ down-to-earth rendering of the Holy Family embraces the most intimate qualities of Caravaggism. The lit candle held by a maidservant is supplemented by the light from the unseen fireplace at which Joseph warms his hands, situating the genre-like scene in the heart of winter, the season in which Jesus was born. Standing upright on Mary’s lap, the realistically portrayed Christ Child seeks the viewer’s attention, as if beckoning us to approach and join in the adoration. With motherly pride Mary presents Jesus. The knife in his right hand alludes to the Circumcision, the first occasion on which the Redeemer’s blood was shed for our sins, intended to encourage meditation on the Passion. Details of the iconography are derived from the visions of St Bridget of Sweden, who described the newborn Christ Child as the source of a bright supernatural light. Jordaens concretises this divine radiance emanating from the body of Jesus – “the light of the world” – as an unusually intense reflected light from the flame of the candle. Svenska: Jordaens vardagliga gestaltning av den Heliga familjen avspeglar caravaggismens mest intima karaktär. Den genreartade scenen utspelar sig på vintern, tiden för Jesu födelse. Det tända vaxljuset i tjänstekvinnans hand kompletteras av en eldstad utanför bildrummet vid vilken Josef värmer sina frusna händer. Det realistiskt skildrade Jesusbarnet står i Jungfru Marias knä. Genom blicken söker han kontakt med betraktaren, som för att bjuda oss att komma närmare och ansluta i tillbedjan. Med moderlig stolthet visar Maria upp Jesusbarnet. Kniven i Jesusbarnets hand hänsyftar till omskärelsen, det första tillfället då Frälsaren utgjuter sitt blod för våra synder, och uppmanar därmed till begrundan av Kristi passion. Målningens ikonografi härrör delvis från den heliga Birgittas uppenbarelser. Hon beskrev det nyfödda Jesusbarnet – ”världens ljus” – som källan till ett starkt övernaturligt ljus. Jordaens konkretiserar här den gudomliga strålglansen i form av det intensiva reflekterade skenet från vaxljusets låga. |
