EDITORS COMMENTS
Christ Disputing with the Doctors," a captivating woodcut print by the renowned German artist Albrecht Altdorfer, dates back to the early 16th century. This masterpiece, created around 1513, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the time. The print depicts a biblical scene from the New Testament, specifically the episode of Christ healing the blind man at the pool of Bethesda, followed by a heated argument between Jesus and the doctors over the man's healing. The scene is filled with intricate detail and dynamic energy, as Christ, with a stern expression, stands in the center, surrounded by a crowd of doctors and physicians, all engaged in a passionate debate. The figures in this print are expertly drawn, each with distinct personalities and expressions, adding depth and complexity to the scene. The doctors, dressed in the attire of the time, are shown with medical instruments and scrolls, emphasizing their occupation as healers and scholars. Christ, with his serene and authoritative demeanor, challenges their understanding of healing and faith. This print is a significant contribution to the artistic and historical record of the 16th century, showcasing the intersection of religion, science, and culture during this time. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the development of Western civilization. On display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., this print is a reminder of the enduring impact of Albrecht Altdorfer's work and the importance of preserving our artistic and cultural heritage for future generations.
