Saint Veronica
Vintage engraving by Albrech Durer, showing Saint Veronica, 1510. According to Christian tradition, Veronica was moved with pity when she saw Jesus carrying his cross to Golgotha and gave him her veil that he might wipe his forehead. Jesus accepted the offering, held it to his face, and then handed it back to her, the image of his face miraculously impressed upon it. This piece of cloth became known as the Veil of Veronica

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving by Albrecht Durer, titled "Saint Veronica" captures a profound moment in Christian tradition. In the image, we witness Saint Veronica's act of compassion as she offers her veil to Jesus while he carries his cross to Golgotha. The engraving beautifully depicts the exchange between them, showing Jesus accepting the offering and holding it against his face before returning it to her. Miraculously, the impression of his face remains on the cloth, which later became known as the Veil of Veronica. Dating back to the 16th century and created in an early Renaissance style, this print showcases Durer's exceptional skill in capturing intricate details and emotions through woodcut engravings. It serves as a religious icon that symbolizes devotion and selflessness. The artwork not only represents an important biblical event but also reflects historical significance and spirituality deeply rooted in Catholicism. Its classical style transports us back in time, allowing us to connect with past traditions and beliefs.
