EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Way to Calvary" a masterpiece created by the renowned Flemish artist Simon Bening. Crafted between 1525 and 1530 in Bruges, Belgium, this exquisite artwork is executed using tempera colors, gold paint, and gold leaf on parchment. The dimensions of this leaf are approximately 16.8 x 11.4 cm (6 5/8 x 4 1/2 in. ), making it a small yet incredibly detailed piece. "The Way to Calvary" depicts the sorrowful journey of Jesus Christ as he carries his cross towards his crucifixion site at Golgotha. Bening's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke and delicate application of gold leaf, creating an ethereal glow that adds depth and richness to the composition. The scene is filled with emotion as various figures accompany Jesus on his path, including Mary Magdalene with her flowing hair and grieving expression, while Simon of Cyrene helps carry the heavy cross. The vibrant use of color brings life to each character's face and clothing, capturing their anguish and devotion. Simon Bening's exceptional skill as a miniaturist shines through in this remarkable artwork from the Liszt Collection. Its intricate details invite viewers into a profound contemplation of Christ's sacrifice while showcasing the mastery of Flemish artistry during the Renaissance period
