Companions Crucifixion Dice Jesus Slowly Testament 15th Swoons
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 15th century print depicts the final moments of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is depicted in a state of profound grief and despair, her body collapsing in a faint as she witnesses the tragic event. The soldiers at the foot of the cross, callously indifferent to the suffering of the innocent man before them, amuse themselves by playing dice. Jesus and his companions, including the repentant thief on his right, slowly succumb to their wounds, their faces etched with pain and exhaustion. This powerful image, created during the late medieval period, offers a poignant and moving portrayal of the Crucifixion and the emotional turmoil it brought about. The use of intricate detail and expressive figures underscores the profound impact of this historical event on the human psyche and the enduring power of religious art to evoke deep emotions. The print is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the 15th century, a time when religious art reached new heights of sophistication and complexity. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring significance of the Crucifixion in the Christian faith and the profound impact it has had on the course of Western civilization. This print is an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and art enthusiasts, offering a unique glimpse into the artistic and religious sensibilities of the past. Its intricate details and expressive figures bring the events of the Crucifixion to life, transporting us back to a time when the power of faith and the human spirit were at the heart of artistic expression.
