1472 1553 1503 Cross Hand Colored Lucas Cranach Saint John Vellum
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lucas Cranach's masterpiece, "Christ on the Cross between the Virgin and Saint John" created in 1503. The German artist's woodcut on vellum is meticulously hand colored with watercolor, resulting in a stunning image measuring 22.7 x 16.2 cm (8 15/16 x 6 3/8 in. ). Cranach's portrayal of this iconic scene from Christian mythology is both powerful and emotionally charged. The central figure of Christ, nailed to the cross, emanates an aura of suffering and sacrifice. His body contorts under the weight of his torment as he gazes heavenward. Flanking him are two significant figures: the Virgin Mary and Saint John. Their expressions reflect grief and anguish as they witness Jesus' crucifixion, their love for him palpable even through artistry. The intricate details captured by Cranach highlight his mastery over woodcut techniques. Every line etched into vellum tells a story; every stroke of color adds depth to this poignant composition. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a time when religious devotion was fervent and art served as a medium for spiritual contemplation. It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for faith, empathy, and resilience in times of great adversity.
