Rings of Saturn

from US$250.00

The Madonna dressed in richly coloured robes is holding her Child with the face of the planet Saturn. This tender Fine Art Print reproduces an original hand-cut paper collage by the artist Aleksandra Mir.

The restraint of the intervention — one perfectly placed astronomical image doing all the work — shows a very assured artistic hand. The halos that would traditionally crown both mother and child in a Madonna and Child composition have been replaced with a single image of Saturn and its rings, positioned so the planet rings encircle both their heads simultaneously like a shared crown.

The new artwork combines source materials from antique religious and modern scientific imagery into a new physical and fantastical reality that is deeply moving. The rings of Saturn — one of the most awe-inspiring sights in astronomy — become an emblem of the bond between mother and child. The infinite and the intimate held in the same frame. The worn, cracked paper grounds it in time and mortality, while Saturn speaks of cosmic permanence.

Giclée pigment ink on Hahnemühle German Etching paper results in a superior quality print with exceptional detail, vibrant color accuracy, and long-term durability. The fresh print reproduces an aged authentic patina and the imprint of the artist’s hand-crafted marks.
