EDITORS COMMENTS
Master MZ's Saint Christopher, c. 1500: A Timeless Tale of Faith and Protection Master MZ's Saint Christopher, a stunning engraving on ivory laid paper from the 16th century, presents a powerful and evocative image of the patron saint of travelers. Dating back to the 3rd century, Saint Christopher is depicted as a robust and elderly man, carrying a young boy on his shoulders as they cross a treacherous river. The boy, believed to represent Jesus Christ, rests his hand on Saint Christopher's head, while the saint clutches a simple staff in one hand and gazes intently forward. The intricately detailed engraving, created in Germany during the Sixteenth Century, showcases Master MZ's exceptional skill and artistry. The geographical feature of an estuary in the background adds a sense of depth and context to the scene, while the textured ivory paper lends a tactile quality to the artwork. The image of Saint Christopher carrying the Christ child on his shoulders has become a popular motif in art and literature, symbolizing protection, faith, and the journey through life. The two figures, one old and one young, represent the passage of time and the enduring power of faith. This beautiful and intriguing print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the past and a reminder of the enduring power of religious iconography. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the human experience.
