EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork titled "Saint Christopher 1506 Chiaroscuro woodcut two blocks" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a renowned German artist from Kronach. Created in 1506, this late impression of the original woodcut is a testament to Cranach's mastery of chiaroscuro technique. The image depicts Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, carrying baby Jesus across a treacherous river. The use of two blocks in this woodcut allows for a striking contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the dramatic effect of the scene. Cranach's attention to detail is evident in every line and contour, capturing both strength and vulnerability within Saint Christopher's figure. Measuring approximately 11 1/4 by 8 1/16 inches (286 by 205 cm), this print exemplifies the timeless beauty and significance of Renaissance art. It serves as a visual reminder of faith and protection during journeys or challenging times. The Liszt Collection has meticulously reproduced this remarkable piece with utmost precision and care. This particular print offers an opportunity for art enthusiasts to appreciate Cranach's artistic genius firsthand without commercial intentions. Whether displayed in private collections or admired in public exhibitions, this print invites viewers into a world where devotion meets artistic excellence. It stands as a testament to Lucas Cranach the Elder's enduring legacy as one of Germany's most celebrated artists from his time period - an inspiration that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
