EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Columbarium Tomb Plaque with the Monogram of Christ, dating back to 500-800 AD. Crafted by the Spanish School, this terracotta masterpiece is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The plaque's purpose was to cover a burial niche within a communal tomb complex known as a columbarium. It served as a final resting place for the deceased and held great significance for Christians during that time period. The monogram of Christ, also known as the chi-rho symbol, adorns the plaque and identifies the individual as a follower of Christianity. Symbolically representing Christ's victory over death, this monogram holds deep meaning. Flanked by alpha and omega - which represent the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet - it signifies Christ's role as both the beginning and end of all things. This remarkable relief object not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also provides insight into religious practices during this era. Donated by John D. Rockefeller Jr. , its presence in an art museum allows visitors to appreciate its historical and cultural significance. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece through their photography expertise, allowing viewers to admire its intricate details from afar while appreciating its spiritual symbolism up close.
