EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Ivory diptych with scenes from the Life of Christ, dating back to the 14th century. Originally owned by Queen Jadwiga of Poland, this remarkable piece of art is now housed in the National Museum Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. The diptych depicts various significant moments from Jesus Christ's life and passion. From his carrying of the cross on the road to Calvary to his crucifixion at Golgotha Hill, each scene is intricately carved into ivory with immense attention to detail. The artist behind this masterpiece remains anonymous, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness these biblical events unfold before our eyes. We can almost feel Mary's anguish as she mourns her son's crucifixion and see John and Mary Magdalene standing beside her in sorrow. The depiction captures not only the physical pain endured by Christ but also conveys a profound sense of spirituality and devotion. This photograph serves as a testament to medieval artistry and its ability to convey powerful religious narratives through intricate craftsmanship. It allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty encapsulated within this rare artifact once cherished by Queen Jadwiga herself.
