EDITORS COMMENTS
"This print, created anonymously in Europe during the 16th century, depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a central theme in the New Testament of the Bible. The image showcases several angels in attendance, their wings outstretched in a display of reverence and compassion. The crucified figure of Christ is shown with his hands nailed to the cross and his feet resting on the wooden footrest. The artist, identified only as Anon, masterfully captures the emotion and intensity of the scene, with Christ's body bearing the weight of the world's sins and the stigmata marks on his hands and feet. The print, etched in black and white, is a testament to the enduring power of religious art and the cultural significance of the Passion of Christ in the Christian faith. This historic work, reminiscent of the illustrations found in antique religious texts, is a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition, and a reminder of the rich artistic and historical heritage of the Metropolitan Museum of Art." Orlando Samacchini, an Italian engraver, is often attributed to be the creator of similar prints during the same period. However, this particular print remains anonymous, adding to its allure and mystery. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of religious art on the human psyche and the enduring power of the crucifixion narrative in the Christian tradition.
