EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful woodcut illustration is taken from Wynkyn de Worde's 1498 printing of the Golden Legend, a popular medieval compendium of hagiographies and religious texts. The image depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and two unnamed thieves, with a soldier in the foreground piercing the side of Jesus with a lance. The soldier's expression is one of compassion, as he attempts to alleviate Jesus' suffering and end his torment. The two crucified thieves, in contrast, writhe in agony, their bodies contorted in pain and despair. The Golden Legend, also known as the "Great Legend of the Blessed Sacrament," was a widely circulated text in Europe during the late Middle Ages. It contained stories of the lives of saints and other religious figures, as well as accounts of biblical events, such as the Crucifixion. This woodcut illustration provides a vivid and dramatic depiction of the Crucifixion, emphasizing the physical and emotional pain endured by Jesus and the other crucified men. The intricately detailed woodcut technique used in this illustration was a common method of printing during the late medieval period. The image was carved into a wooden block, which was then inked and pressed onto paper to create a print. The use of multiple blocks for different colors and shading added depth and complexity to the final image. This woodcut is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the religious beliefs and artistic styles of the late medieval period. It is also a testament to the enduring power of the Crucifixion story, which continues to captivate and inspire artists, writers, and audiences alike.
