EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Calvary" created around 1530 by Ligier Richier, a renowned artist from the Renaissance era. The painting, made on painted wood, is located in Eglise St. Gengoult in Briey, France. The image depicts a powerful scene from Christian history known as Calvary or Golgotha. At the center stands the cross where Jesus Christ was crucified between two thieves. The figures surrounding this pivotal moment include Mary Magdalene and Saint John the Evangelist, both deeply moved by the suffering of their beloved savior. Richier's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he masterfully captures the anguish and pain endured by Christ during his crucifixion. The Virgin Mary can be seen weeping beside her son's wounded body, while other figures express their grief and disbelief at this tragic event. The composition exudes a sense of profound spirituality and devotion that resonates with viewers even today. This remarkable piece serves as a poignant reminder of Jesus' sacrifice for humanity's salvation. Clement Guillaume skillfully photographed this masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and emotional depth. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness one of Christianity's most significant moments—an enduring symbol of faith and redemption captured forever through art.
