EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St Christopher carrying the Infant Christ" showcases the remarkable talent of renowned artist Albrecht Durer. Created in 1525, this particular print is a reproduction from Durer's book, Und Seine Zeit, published by Wilhelm Waetzoldt in 1936. The image depicts St Christopher, a revered saint known as the patron saint of travelers, holding the infant Jesus on his shoulder while crossing a river. The woodcut technique used by Durer adds depth and texture to this powerful portrayal of devotion and protection. Set against a German landscape backdrop, this scene captures both the physical journey undertaken by St Christopher and the spiritual significance it holds. With his staff firmly grasped in hand, he stands tall as he carries Christ across treacherous waters. Dressed in traditional attire reflective of Germany during that era, St Christopher's noble expression conveys strength and determination. This timeless artwork serves as a reminder of faith's ability to guide us through life's challenges. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from the 1940s, we are transported back to an earlier century when religious art played an integral role in society. Albrecht Durer's skillful craftsmanship immortalizes this momentous encounter between man and divine child for generations to come.
