EDITORS COMMENTS
The Raising of the Cross" is a captivating and intricately detailed drawing by the renowned German artist, Ottmar Elliger the Younger (1574-1636). This antique artwork, created in an unknown year, is a testament to Elliger's mastery of various artistic mediums, including brown ink, brush drawing, chalk, and grey ink. The drawing is executed on ivory laid paper, adding to its historic and cultural significance. The scene portrayed in the drawing is derived from the New Testament and depicts the moment when Christ Antiphonetes, a bystander, helps Simon of Cyrene carry the cross on which Jesus Christ was later crucified. The drawing is a poignant representation of the Passion of Christ, a central theme in Christianity. The drawing is a monochrome masterpiece, with the use of grey ink and brown ink creating a sense of depth and contrast. The figures are rendered with remarkable precision, from the furrowed brows and weary expressions of the men to the delicate folds of their clothing. The female figure in the background, her face veiled, adds an element of mystery to the scene. This drawing is a rare and valuable addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery. Its historical significance and artistic merit make it a must-see for art enthusiasts, students of art history, and those interested in the rich cultural heritage of Christianity. The Raising of the Cross is a testament to Ottmar Elliger the Younger's skill and dedication to his craft, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection. The drawing is currently on exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. Whether viewed in person or through reproductions, The Raising of the Cross is a work of art that transcends time and continues to resonate with viewers today.
