[Holy Family with St Anne presenting an apple to the Christ child]
AR [monogram of Alexander Runciman]
[n.d. c.1760]
Very rare (possibly unrecorded) etching, 190 x 140mm (7½ x 5½"), with very large margins.
St Anne kneels before the infant Jesus, having just given him an apple. Mary sits holding the Christ child on her lap, while Joseph looks on behind. Images of Saint Anne offering or presenting an apple to the Christ Child often symbolise the redemption of Original Sin, with the apple alluding to the Fall of Man. In this artistic tradition, Mary or Saint Anne gives the fruit to Jesus, the “New Adam”, signifying the reversal and repair of the fall brought about by Eve. An etching by Scottish artist Alexander Runciman (1736-1785) one of the earliest exponents of original etching in Scotland.
