EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodcut print by the renowned 16th century German artist Albrecht Altdorfer, presents a poignant and contemplative depiction of Jesus Christ in prayer on the Mount of Olives. This masterpiece, created around 1513, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the European Renaissance. Located on a geographical ridge east of Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives holds significant biblical and historical importance as the site of several pivotal moments in the New Testament. In this print, Altdorfer expertly captures the serene and contemplative atmosphere of the scene, with Christ depicted in a deep posture of prayer, surrounded by his apostles who are shown in various poses of reverence and introspection. The intricately detailed drawing showcases Altdorfer's exceptional skill as a draftsman, with the rugged terrain of the mount and the individual features of each apostle rendered with remarkable precision. The black and white medium adds to the print's evocative and timeless quality, transporting the viewer back to a bygone era. This print is an invaluable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a window into the artistic and religious traditions of the past. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to exhibit this rare and beautiful work, allowing contemporary audiences to connect with the enduring legacy of Albrecht Altdorfer and the rich history of European art.
