EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in art history - "Christ on the Cross between the Virgin and St John". Created by Michelangelo Buonarroti in the 16th century, this crucifixion scene is brought to life through a drawing found in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle. The print, featured in Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" showcases the timeless beauty of Michelangelo's work. In this depiction, Christ hangs on the cross with his mother, the Virgin Mary, and St John standing beside him. The intense emotion is palpable as they mourn their beloved savior's suffering. The monochrome tones add depth and intensity to this profound religious moment. Michelangelo's skillful use of chalk brings out every detail of anguish on Christ's face and body. His mastery of human anatomy is evident even in this simple drawing. The nudity serves as a symbol of vulnerability and sacrifice. This print invites viewers to contemplate the immense pain endured by Jesus for humanity's salvation. It reminds us of our own mortality and calls us to reflect on our faith. "Christ on the Cross between the Virgin and St John" stands as a testament to Michelangelo's genius during both his time in the 16th century Renaissance period and its rediscovery during World War II when Degenhart published his collection. This artwork continues to inspire awe centuries later, reminding us of both artistic brilliance and spiritual devotion.
