EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and ink drawing on ivory laid paper, created by Johann Mathias Kager around 1625, captures a poignant moment from the New Testament as Christ and his Apostles gather for a contemplative moment. The image, titled "Christ and the Apostles," is a testament to the artistic mastery of the German artist during the 17th century. The drawing, which is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a monochrome depiction of Christ in the center, surrounded by his twelve disciples. The figures are rendered with remarkable detail and sensitivity, each one distinct in their expression and posture. The female figure at the far right, believed to be Mary Magdalene, adds a touch of femininity and intrigue to the otherwise male-dominated scene. The drawing's antique quality, with its grey and grey-black tones, adds a sense of timelessness and heritage to the image. The use of pen and black ink on ivory laid paper lends a delicate and intricate texture to the drawing, making each line and detail stand out. This work of art is a significant addition to any collection of Christian art or biblical depictions. It invites the viewer to contemplate the life of Christ and the teachings of the Apostles, transporting them back to a time when such images held great cultural and historical significance.
