EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound and emotive artwork titled "Christ on the Cross with the Virgin, St. John and Mary Magdalene" by Pieter Claeissens. Painted in oil on panel, this masterpiece is housed in the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, Belgium. The image depicts a poignant scene of Christ's crucifixion, surrounded by his grieving mother, the Virgin Mary; Saint John; and Mary Magdalene. Each figure is captured with remarkable detail and expression, conveying their deep sorrow and mourning for Jesus' sacrifice. The composition is enhanced by the inclusion of angelic wings hovering above them all, symbolizing divine presence during this momentous event. The donors who commissioned this triptych are also depicted kneeling at either side of Christ's cross, adding a personal touch to an already powerful narrative. Mary Magdalene can be seen tenderly kissing Christ's feet while holding an ointment jar—a poignant reminder of her devotion to him even after his death. The artist skillfully captures every nuance of grief through delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. This print allows us to appreciate Claeissens' mastery from afar while immersing ourselves in the mournful atmosphere he created over five centuries ago. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and religious devotion that continues to resonate with viewers today.
