EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic scene of the Crucifixion with the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist, surrounded by angels overhead. Created around 1593 by Gijsbert Van Veen, this engraving showcases his exceptional talent in capturing religious themes. The central focus of the image is Jesus Christ on the cross, bleeding and suffering for humanity's sins. The Virgin Mary stands beside him, her face filled with sorrow as she witnesses her son's agony. Saint John the Evangelist gestures towards them both, symbolizing his role as a faithful disciple. Angels hover above, adding an ethereal quality to the composition. Their presence signifies divine intervention and heavenly support during this momentous event. The inclusion of cherubs or putti further enhances their angelic nature. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print – from the intricate engravings to each figure's expression and posture. This piece exemplifies Baroque art style with its emotional intensity and emphasis on religious devotion. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork invites viewers to contemplate themes of sacrifice, redemption, and faith within Christianity. It serves as a powerful reminder of Jesus' crucifixion while showcasing Van Veen's skillful craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
