EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a striking wood engraving titled "Crucifix, 1919" by the renowned artist Eric Gill. This powerful artwork is part of a private collection and showcases Gill's mastery in capturing the essence of Christ's crucifixion. The image depicts a stylized crucifix with intricate lettering surrounding it. The inscription relates to the mourning of Christ's death, emphasizing his sacrifice for humanity. The cross stands tall, symbolizing both suffering and redemption. Gill's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this woodcut. From the delicate seed-like patterns on the cross to the flowing lines that form each letter, his craftsmanship is truly remarkable. The use of Latin phrases such as "tibi ducat meam carnem" (lead my flesh) and "bibit sanguinem meum" (drinks my blood) adds an additional layer of symbolism and religious significance. This print evokes a sense of reverence and contemplation as viewers are drawn into its profound message. It serves as a reminder of Christ's ultimate sacrifice and invites us to reflect upon our own faith journey. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into Eric Gill's artistic genius while also inviting us to ponder deeper spiritual truths through its depiction of the crucifixion scene.
