EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bramante's masterpiece, "St. Christopher with the Infant Jesus" created around 1490. The delicate silverpoint technique, heightened with white accents, brings to life this iconic image on light grey prepared paper. Displayed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, this Italian artwork is now out of copyright. The composition depicts St. Christopher, a revered saint and patron of travelers, carrying the infant Jesus across a treacherous river. With his strong physique and determined expression, St. Christopher embodies unwavering faith and devotion as he navigates through turbulent waters. Legend has it that during their journey together, the weight of the child became increasingly heavy until it seemed unbearable for St. Christopher to carry him any longer. It was then revealed that he had carried not only an ordinary child but also the weight of the world upon his shoulders - symbolizing Christ as the ultimate savior. This timeless piece resonates deeply within Christian tradition and mythology alike; it serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's capacity for strength and sacrifice in service to others.
