EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the revered artifact known as the Veil of Veronica, or Veronica's Veil, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's extensive collection. The Veil is a biblical relic believed to bear the imprint of the face of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament during his journey to Calvary. The anonymous artist masterfully captures the intricate details of the textile, with the folds and creases of the fabric creating a sense of depth and dimension. The image of Christ, with his crown of thorns and the agony etched upon his face, is both moving and profound. The Veil, a significant piece of Christian heritage, has been the subject of numerous illustrations and drawings throughout history, and this woodcut print is a testament to its enduring significance in art and culture. The Veil of Veronica, also known as the Sudarium or the Volto Santo, is a powerful reminder of the Passion of Christ and the profound impact of the crucifixion on the human body and spirit. This print invites viewers to contemplate the rich history and meaning behind this biblical artifact and its continued relevance in the annals of art and religious tradition.
