EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite artwork titled "Standing Christ, Blessing from Christ, Mary, and the Apostles" created by Antonio Tempesta in Italy during the late 16th to early 17th century. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this etching showcases a full-length depiction of Jesus Christ blessing his followers. In this powerful image, Christ stands tall with outstretched arms and a gentle hand gesture symbolizing benediction. Surrounding him are Mary and the apostles who look up to him with reverence and devotion. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every line etched on the paper, capturing each figure's expression and posture with remarkable precision. The composition exudes a sense of divine presence as light cascades upon Christ's figure from above. This portrayal beautifully conveys both his divinity as well as his humanity through subtle nuances in facial features and body language. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness an iconic moment in Christian history - the ascension of Jesus after his resurrection. It serves as a poignant reminder of faith's enduring power throughout centuries. Antonio Tempesta's artistic prowess shines through this piece that continues to inspire awe among viewers today. Its timeless beauty transcends boundaries of time and space, making it an invaluable treasure within our heritage art collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
