EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Christ on the Cross with the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Saint John" by Pietro da Cortona. Created in Italy around 1661, this artwork is a testament to da Cortona's exceptional talent and his ability to capture profound emotions through his brushstrokes. In this composition, we witness Christ's crucifixion surrounded by four significant figures from Christian iconography. The Virgin Mary stands at the foot of the cross, her face filled with sorrow as she witnesses her son's suffering. Next to her is Mary Magdalene, known for her unwavering devotion to Christ. Her expression reflects both grief and adoration for him. On the other side stands Saint John, depicted as a young man deeply affected by Christ's sacrifice. His gaze towards Jesus conveys reverence and empathy for his pain. Together, these three figures represent different aspects of human emotion when faced with tragedy and divine love. Pietro da Cortona skillfully employs pen and brown ink along with gray wash over black chalk in this piece. He enhances certain elements using white gouache on light brown paper squared in black chalk. The oval shape is reinforced using red chalk. With dimensions measuring 40.3 x 26.5 cm (15 7/8 x 10 7/16 inches), this artwork invites viewers into a contemplative space where they can reflect upon faith, compassion, and sacrifice represented through these iconic figures from Christianity's narrative
