EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail from "The Altarpiece of the Crucifixion" specifically the left panel depicting several significant figures. Created by Jacques de Baerze or Baers in 1391, this masterpiece can be found in the Church of Chartreuse de Champmol and is now housed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France. In this particular section, we are presented with an array of saints who played crucial roles during Christ's crucifixion. The gilded wood sculpture beautifully captures their intricate details and expressions. Standing tall and proud is Saint George, adorned in armor and wielding a sword symbolizing his valiant nature as a martyr. Beside him stands Mary Magdalene, her presence exuding devotion and sorrow for Jesus' suffering on the cross. John, known as the beloved disciple, gazes upon Christ with deep reverence while Catherine of Alexandria holds her iconic wheel signifying her own martyrdom. Completing this sacred ensemble is Christopher carrying baby Jesus on his shoulders across treacherous waters—a visual representation of his legendary story as he became known as the patron saint of travelers. Every element within this medieval artwork reflects its Gothic origins—ornate gilt accents adding to its grandeur. This print allows us to appreciate these historical figures frozen in time while reminding us of their significance within Christian iconography.
