EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a remarkable artwork from the 15th century, known as "Christ on the Cross with the Virgin and St. John". Created by an anonymous artist, this antique masterpiece is a testament to both religious devotion and artistic skill. The image portrays Christ's crucifixion, surrounded by his mother Mary (the Virgin) and his loyal disciple St. John. The intense emotions are palpable as they stand beneath Jesus' outstretched arms, witnessing his sacrifice for humanity's sins. The detailed drawing showcases German craftsmanship of that era, illustrating intricate folds in clothing and expressive facial features that convey anguish, grief, and compassion simultaneously.
