label QS:Len,"Virgin and Child with Balaam the Prophet"
Açıklama
Image of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, in the Catacomb of Priscilla in Rome. It depicts her nursing the Infant Jesus. This is earliest known image of Mary and the Infant Jesus[1] (independent of the Magi episode). The figure at the left appears to be the prophet Balaam pointing to a star (outside the frame).[2] The star is from Numbers 24:17.
Alternatively, Isaiah (7:14) predicts the birth of Jesus from the Virgin Mary.[2][3][4]
The emphasis on the maternal love of Mary for the Child Jesus reflects the early Christian community's reverence for the Mother of God, and for its understanding of God's love for humankind in sending His only Son to earth to share in our humanity."[1]

↑ abLowrie, Walter (1901) Christian Art and Archaelogy, pp. 245−247 "It will be noticed that the man, who is clad in the philosopher's pallium, is pointing to a star. It is not perfectly clear what the picture represents, but the man is commonly taken to be a prophet foretelling the birth of Christ, and he is identified as Isaiah or as Balaam."
↑F. Vigouroux, ed. Dictionary of the Bible, 1 "An ancient monument in the Roman catacombs confirms the written tradition. In a sepulchral chamber in the cemetery of Priscilla, which M. de Rossi dates back to the confines of the apostolic age, Mary (fig. 102) is represented seated, her head half-covered by a short, transparent veil, and carrying in her arms the infant Jesus, who turns towards her. Standing beside the virgin mother, a man holds a rolled-up volume in one hand and points to a star with the other. In this young and austere figure, dressed as a philosopher, M. de Rossi recognizes Isaiah...This image, painted at the latest in the first half of the second century, is therefore an illustration of the oracle of Isaiah."
