Arma Christi Corpus Christi Deposed Passion Stigmata

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "Christ taken down from the Cross" in 1874, as depicted by German artist Heinrich Wilhelm Truebner. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 95x109.5 cm and is housed at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. Truebner's attention to detail and skillful brushwork bring forth a scene filled with emotion and spirituality. The lifeless body of Christ is delicately cradled by mourners who carefully lower him from the cross, their faces etched with grief and reverence. The cloth that envelops his body symbolizes both death and resurrection, evoking a sense of hope amidst sorrow. The painting also highlights the stigmata - wounds on Christ's hands and feet - representing his suffering during crucifixion. Surrounding him are various objects known as "arma christi" which include nails, thorns, and other instruments associated with his passion. Through this artwork, Truebner invites viewers to reflect upon themes of sacrifice, redemption, and faith. It serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's ultimate act of love for humanity. As an out-of-copyright piece available through www. bridgemanart. com without any commercial use mentioned here, it allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty while contemplating its spiritual significance.
