The devotional images I present today to the few, educated and true lovers of this noble kind of art collections and works extremely rare and valuable: a museum, an authentic document of high artistic value, historical, cultural and religious.
E 'attention dell'Acate player accessory emphasize that we are light years away from the holy mountain of cheap, repetitive and constantly available in industrial quantities on the market of various paper-web sites for sale, currently proposed for reckless tendency of certain vendors at prices unimaginable and totally incongruous to the real, objective value as a market area of \u200b\u200bthe collectible paper at Europe.
In Flanders, the refined collector and dear friend Dr.Theo Breugelmans generously today that will give us all the wonderful images together in this article of mine may well be proud of: even the splendid collection of Westfriese Museum in Hoorn Netherlands-see article here on the Blog-has a kind of wonder! And it is me- granted-to be found right here the substantial difference between so-called "collector" gathers and welcomes all in its collection, from bei Santini ordinary vintage reproductions, stickers and even despicable modern playing cards and / or printed magnets unscrupulously today effigies of saints and the learned scholar, authentic Expert Images Devotional: the latter spent the 'whole life in research, studies, explores with passion and genuine love of the ancient historical roots, artistic and religious intimately and inextricably linked to the ancient tradition sincere devotion of the Christian People, consciously and judiciously protect and preserve the wicked destruction and oblivion, famous names and well-known collector of this kind which separate the large collection of prints and passionate scholar Achille Bertarelli during the last century, which has taken credit for having saved up from the pulp of the immeasurable Heritage Prints Fund of Remondini Bassano, precious cultural asset accessible by all today in Milan at the "Civic Gallery Prints" which takes its name from its enlightened donor, and even closer to us in time, the illustrious Maestro Walther Mazzoni of Bologna, and lovers of exquisite collection of prints devoted Christian piety.
Well, after this premise, Let us now examine with this authentic, museum masterpiece, designed and engraved with a burin on copper plate and masterfully hand-colored in Flanders in the seventeenth century.
The absolute value and rarity of the piece-and here we could talk about objectively without error UNITY ' -' theme that is immediately evident from: the depiction of holy matrimony .
Recite the caption in Latin: "Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your lawful wedded wife" : Mary and Joseph, radiant portrait of Love in the culminating rite of the ancient "conjunctiva dexeterarum" With the Angel of God, celebrating and blessing the Sacred Union in the bright light of the Holy Spirit and joy of the Holy Angels scattering Wedding fragrant flowers and fresh palm fronds blessed.
the right of the aforementioned beautiful scene, always on the same copper plate engraved with excellent care and respect to the smallest details of the same punctuation, in the fascinating Flemish language in the first half of 1600 introduces a brief dedication prayer at the top - GHEBEDT - precious casket enclosed in a 'typical Baroque elegant setting, decorated with beautiful ornaments and winged cherubs:
MARIA JOSEPH MIRROR OF

Give also to us the blessed grace of a long life together in Peace, unity and mutual fidelity: in perfect harmony and in happiness, as celebrated in the picture, so that we can hope in our eternal salvation.

Similar to other cases reported in the biographies of the most important artists of the Baroque Flemish , the scene drawn by Abraham van Diepenbeeck was reproduced in engraving on copper plate on thick parchment and hand colored and skillfully lighted in precious gold from another famous name of the ancient Flemish art, dear and familiar to devotees of the ancient devotional image Collectibles: Gaspar Huberti .

The answer is probably yes, not a few of those come down to us in fact bear on the bottom right. the written V. (Vidua-ie Widow) Gaspar Huberti and where it is evident that the addition of posthumous "V" carved out of the slab, the probability becomes reasonable certainty.
born from the press of Printing House Gaspar Huberti - perhaps colored by the same, with bowed head tilt on the parchment in hand with brush and colors, the pale light a candle soot to breathe for a whole night - and he probably commissioned by a nobleman or perhaps a high priest of the time Fleming and given that credibility as a valuable and good wishes "Wedding Present" a young couple, now that we know the names and the main events for its rich history with even more profound enchantment we admire, honoring the Sacred and inseparable bond of marriage , remembered with respect the great Flemish artists that four hundred years ago the 'have created and are grateful to the Friend Dr.Theo Breugelmans - also DOC-Flemish today with all of us generously and beautifully wanted her share.
