EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Father forgive them! Christ on the Cross" showcases an exquisite engraving by the German School from the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, beautifully captures a poignant moment in religious history. The image depicts Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary, surrounded by angels and bathed in divine light. It is based on a Dutch translation of Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock's epic poem Der Messias, which narrates the life and passion of Jesus. In this powerful scene, we witness Christ's ultimate act of forgiveness as he prays to his Father for mercy upon those who have crucified him. The artist skillfully conveys both agony and serenity through intricate details and masterful shading.

It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for forgiveness even in moments of great suffering. With its profound symbolism and emotional depth, this artwork invites contemplation and introspection. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of religious art to inspire devotion and provoke spiritual reflection across generations.
