EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodcut print, titled "Christ Bearing the Cross," is a masterpiece by Hans Schäufelein the Elder from the 16th century. The image depicts a somber and powerful scene from the Life of Christ, with Jesus in the center, bearing the heavy crossbeam on his shoulders as a crowd of men, including soldiers and onlookers, follow behind. The intricate details of the armor and weaponry worn by the soldiers, as well as the textured fabric of their clothing, are expertly rendered in monochrome, adding depth and dimension to the image. The crosses and swords, symbols of the crucifixion and warfare, loom large in the background, further emphasizing the weight of the burden that Jesus carries. This print, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to move and inspire viewers, transporting us back in time to a different era and inviting us to reflect on the human condition and the concept of sacrifice.
