EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Various forms of cross" takes us on a visual journey through the rich history and symbolism associated with this iconic religious symbol. The lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, showcases a collection of diverse cross designs that have played significant roles throughout time. From Lorraine to Malta, from Europe to Calvary, each cross represents a unique chapter in the story of Jesus Christ and his passion. With roots in ancient Egypt (commissa ansata) and Latin traditions (crux immissa capitata), these crosses carry deep historical significance. The image also features notable variations such as the Greek tau cross and St. Andrew's saltire. Each design holds its own cultural importance within Christianity, reflecting different regions and beliefs. As we explore this print further, we encounter references to Jerusalem's Golgotha hill where Jesus was crucified, as well as symbols linked to biblical characters like St. Anthony or St. John of Jerusalem. This artwork serves not only as an educational tool but also as a testament to human knowledge and our fascination with understanding early centuries' customs and beliefs. It reminds us of the enduring power that religious symbols hold over our collective consciousness. Bridgeman Images beautifully captures this intricate piece from their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing viewers to delve into the profound world of crosses throughout history without commercial intent or mention.
