The Glowing Cross in St. Peter's, Rome, on Maundy Thursday
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the ethereal beauty and spiritual significance of this sacred event. In this exquisite pen and ink with watercolor print by Charles Norry, we witness a mesmerizing sight within the grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly the radiant cross that illuminates the interior of the church. Its warm glow casts a heavenly light upon worshippers as they gather for Maundy Thursday, a momentous day in Christian tradition commemorating Jesus' Last Supper. Norry skillfully depicts intricate architectural details surrounding the cross, including an ornate baldacchino and arches that add to the splendor of this religious ceremony. The baroque elements evoke a sense of opulence and reverence befitting such an occasion. This artwork transports us to a time when faith was celebrated through artistry and devotion. It serves as a reminder of our shared human need for spirituality and connection with something greater than ourselves. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France, Norry's masterpiece continues to inspire awe and contemplation among viewers today. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded not only of its historical context but also how art has always played an essential role in expressing our deepest beliefs and emotions.
