EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant image depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, an event central to the Christian faith as described in the New Testament of the Bible. The scene unfolds on a rocky, barren hill, with a large crowd gathered to witness the event. At the center, Jesus, wearing a crown of thorns and bearing the marks of the nails on his hands and feet, is nailed to the cross. His expression is one of profound suffering and acceptance. Surrounding Jesus are the figures of the Virgin Mary, John the Beloved Disciple, and several other mourning figures, their faces etched with sorrow and anguish. In the background, Roman soldiers and onlookers watch indifferently or jeer, while a few show signs of remorse. The title of this print, "The Crucifixion and the Way of the Holy Cross," refers to the traditional route that pilgrims would take to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, passing by the sites of Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. This image would have served as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by Jesus and the importance of the Christian faith to those who viewed it. The intricately detailed and emotionally charged composition of this print, created in 1887, captures the intensity and depth of the crucifixion story, making it a moving and inspiring work of art for Christians and non-Christians alike.
