EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful engraving by Hans Brosamer, created in 1542, we are presented with a profound depiction of Christ on the cross. Positioned between the Virgin Mary and St. John, the composition conveys both anguish and compassion. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every line etched onto the print. The delicate shading and intricate patterns add depth to each figure, enhancing their emotional presence. Christ's body hangs heavily on the cross, his face marked with pain but also radiating divine grace. The Virgin Mary stands beside him, her sorrowful gaze fixed upon her son with an expression of unwavering love and empathy. On the other side stands St. John, depicted as a youthful disciple overcome by grief. Brosamer's skillful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic contrast that intensifies the overall impact of this religious scene. The dark background serves to emphasize the central figures while also evoking a sense of solemnity. This artwork from Heritage Art/Heritage Images captures not only an important moment in Christian history but also invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as sacrifice, redemption, and human suffering. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art for all to admire its beauty and significance, this engraving serves as a testament to Brosamer's talent as well as his ability to convey deep spiritual meaning through artistry alone.
