EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Christian history - the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Painted by Anton Henkel in the 15th century, this oil on panel artwork is part of a series depicting scenes from the life of Christ. The intense scene shows Christ being nailed to the cross on Golgotha, also known as Calvary. The composition is filled with emotion and symbolism. In the foreground, we see soldiers clad in armor hammering nails into Christ's hands and feet while he endures immense pain and suffering. A crowd of spectators watches solemnly, witnessing this profound act of sacrifice. Henkel's attention to detail brings out every nuance of this dramatic event. The expressions on each face convey a range of emotions - anguish, awe, disbelief, and even indifference. This painting serves as a powerful reminder of the passion and crucifixion that lies at the heart of Christianity. Originally housed in Payerne Abbey in Vaud, Switzerland, this artwork has now found its place within a private collection. Its historical significance combined with Henkel's masterful technique make it an invaluable piece for art enthusiasts and religious scholars alike.
