EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful scene of "The Crucifixion, with the lowering of the cross at center" by Giovanni Battista Cipriani. Created in 1762 during the 18th century, this Italian masterpiece depicts soldiers scattered throughout the image, emphasizing the somber atmosphere surrounding Jesus' crucifixion. At the center of attention is Christ himself, hanging from a cross as it is being lowered down. To his left, a thief can be seen on another cross, highlighting their shared fate. The artist skillfully portrays suffering and despair through delicate etching techniques. Intriguingly, amidst this tragic event unfolds a captivating narrative. A group of soldiers engages in gambling with dice while others appear to be fainting or collapsing under emotional distress. This juxtaposition symbolizes humanity's indifference and preoccupation with worldly matters even in moments of great significance. The presence of Mary, mother of Jesus (the Virgin), adds an element of profound emotion to the composition. She stands alongside other women who mourn for their beloved ones lost to war or suffering due to religious persecution. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as sacrifice, faith, and human nature's complexities within historical contexts. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and pain, there is room for compassion and redemption.
