EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Saint Francis (recto), Dead Christ (verso)" by the renowned Italian artist Pontormo, also known as Jacopo Carucci. Created around 1517-1518, this piece exemplifies Pontormo's exceptional talent and mastery of black chalk. On the recto side, we are presented with an exquisite depiction of Saint Francis. The intricate details and delicate shading bring this religious figure to life, capturing his serene expression and devoutness. Pontormo's skillful use of black chalk creates a sense of depth and texture that adds to the overall beauty of the composition. Flipping over to the verso reveals another fascinating aspect of this artwork - a portrayal of Dead Christ. Here, Pontormo employs both black chalk and white chalk heightening techniques to convey a hauntingly realistic representation. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the solemnity and sorrow surrounding Christ's death. Measuring 40.5 x 28.4 cm (15 15/16 x 11 3/16 in. ), this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail up close while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work by Pontormo, we are reminded of his undeniable talent as an Italian Florentine artist during the Renaissance period. This print serves as a testament to his lasting legacy in art history, showcasing his ability to capture emotion through meticulous craftsmanship with black chalk
