EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white drawing, titled "Crucifixion with Saint John the Evangelist, the Virgin and Two Maries," is an exquisite example of the Italian Baroque style, created by the School of Francesco Solimena during the 17th or 18th century. The drawing is executed in black chalk and brown ink on laid paper, and measures an impressive size. At the center of the composition, Christ Jesus is depicted in the act of being crucified, his body taut with the weight of the cross. The Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist stand mournfully at the foot of the cross, their faces etched with sorrow and despair. Two Maries, identified as the Magdalene and the other Mary, are shown weeping and holding a cloth, as they pay their respects to the suffering Savior. The drawing is rich in symbolism and emotional depth. The cherubs and angelic figures that surround the scene add a sense of otherworldliness and transcendence, while the use of contrasting light and shadow creates a dramatic and powerful effect. The drawing is a testament to the enduring power of Christian art to move and inspire, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Italy. This drawing is a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition, and would be a fitting centerpiece for a gallery or museum dedicated to the study of Baroque art or Christian iconography. It is a rare and beautiful work, full of depth, emotion, and historical significance.
