EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Christ Cross Virgin Moses Woodcut letterpress" by the talented German artist Hans Burgkmair. Created in Augsburg between 1473 and 1531, this woodcut portion of the print is an impressive representation of his skill. The image captures a scene where Christ, the Virgin Mary, and Moses are depicted together. The woodcut portion is meticulously crafted, with intricate details that bring each figure to life. The consistent impression throughout the print highlights Burgkmair's mastery of his craft. At first glance, one cannot help but notice the letterpress inscription at the top center of the sheet. Although published references indicate that it typically reads "Exaltatio Crucis" this particular version differs slightly as it reads "Wittemberg". These large letters draw attention and add an intriguing element to the composition. As we delve deeper into this artwork, our gaze is drawn to Christ himself. He stands tall with arms outstretched on a level above both Moses and the Virgin Mary who kneel before him in reverence. This juxtaposition emphasizes Christ's exalted status and spiritual significance. Measuring approximately 6 9/16 by 5 5/16 inches (166 x 135 cm), this print from Liszt Collection preserves not only Burgkmair's artistic brilliance but also offers us a glimpse into religious iconography during his time. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Germany's most celebrated artists.
