EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound artwork of JJ Tissot, a renowned illustrator, and his masterpiece "Descent from the Cross". Created for his book "The Life of our Saviour Jesus Christ" this illustration transports us back to London in 1890. The image is an oleograph, a technique that adds depth and richness to the colors. At its heart, this illustration depicts one of Christianity's most significant moments - the descent of Jesus Christ from the cross after his crucifixion. Tissot's attention to detail is evident as he captures every emotion on the faces surrounding Jesus' lifeless body. The sorrowful expressions reflect both grief and hope as they mourn their beloved savior. The capital punishment endured by Jesus is powerfully portrayed through Tissot's skillful brushstrokes. This scene serves as a poignant reminder of Christ's sacrifice for humanity's salvation, evoking deep contemplation about faith and redemption. Tissot masterfully brings to life this pivotal event in Christian history with his meticulous composition and use of light and shadow. His dedication to portraying religious themes authentically has made him an icon in religious art. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported into Tissot's interpretation of London during the late 19th century. It serves as a testament not only to his artistic prowess but also to the enduring impact religion has had on society throughout history
