EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful portrayal of Jesus Christ during the 1922 Oberammergau Passion Play in Bavaria, Germany. The talented actor Anton Lang, known for his role as Jesus in the play, embodies the essence of our savior with remarkable conviction and emotion. The Oberammergau Passion Play, first performed in 1634, is a deeply significant event that tells the story of Jesus' passion and crucifixion. Taking place every ten years on open-air stages by the villagers of Oberammergau themselves, this extraordinary production has evolved into a renowned tourist attraction drawing audiences from around the globe. In this image captured by Henry Traut's Atelier, Lang stands resolute and dignified amidst an ensemble cast dressed in period costumes. His bearded face exudes both strength and compassion as he holds a cup symbolizing the Last Supper - a poignant moment before his ultimate sacrifice. The vibrant colors add to the dramatic impact of this photograph while highlighting Lang's exceptional performance skills. This postcard from Friedrich Bruckmann's collection serves as a testament to not only Lang's talent but also to the enduring tradition and religious significance associated with this historic play. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and capture profound moments that resonate across generations.
