EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, dating back to the 1510s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 16th century. On the recto side, we find a striking image of Saint Willibald, a renowned bishop and missionary from the early Christian period in Europe. He is depicted in full regalia, wearing a long robe with a bishop's crook and crosier in his hands, signifying his ecclesiastical authority. The intricate design on his cloak and the shield of arms at his feet add to the heraldic and symbolic elements of the print. On the verso side, the image transforms into a profoundly moving depiction of Christ on the Cross. The stark contrast between the two sides underscores the dual nature of religious art, which can convey both the triumph and the suffering of faith. The black and white woodcut on vellum, likely produced in Germany, is a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the essence of human emotion and spirituality. This rare and captivating print is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, adding to the institution's vast repository of global artistic treasures. The print's intricate details and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to the museum's holdings, providing a glimpse into the artistic and religious sensibilities of the past.
