EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sudarium, also known as the Veronica or the Vera Icon, is a revered Christian relic believed to bear the imprint of the face of Jesus Christ. This exquisite engraving by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1513, depicts two angels delicately holding the sacred cloth. The Sudarium, which translates to 'sweatcloth' in Greek, is said to have been used to wipe the face of Jesus during His Passion. The image on the cloth is an acheiropoieta, meaning 'not made by hands.' Dürer's masterful representation of the Sudarium is a testament to the artist's extraordinary skill and devotion. The angels' gentle touch and reverent expressions convey the profound significance of the relic. The intricate details of the fabric and the subtle shading create a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer closer to the holy image. The Sudarium holds a prominent place in both Eastern and Western Christian traditions. It is believed to have originated in Edessa, Syria, and has been the subject of numerous legends and artistic interpretations throughout history. This engraving by Dürer is a beautiful and enduring tribute to the venerated image of Christ, reminding us of the profound impact of the New Testament story on art and faith. The Sudarium held by two angels, 1513, is a rare and precious work of art that continues to inspire awe and reverence. This masterpiece, created by Albrecht Dürer, is a testament to the enduring power of art and the deep connection between faith and creativity.
