EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St Christopher facing right, 1521" transports us back to the German Renaissance period. Created by the renowned artist Albrecht Duerer, this burin engraving measures 12x7.7 cm and is now part of a private collection curated by Luisa Ricciarini. The image depicts St Christopher, a prominent figure in Christian iconography, wading through a river with Jesus Christ as an infant on his shoulder. The man's strong physique and determined expression convey his commitment to carrying out this sacred journey. With a staff in hand for support and a halo above his head symbolizing holiness, he exudes devotion. St Christopher's long beard and elderly appearance suggest wisdom acquired through age and spiritual experiences. As he walks across the water with gracefulness reminiscent of biblical miracles, we witness his unwavering faith in action. Surrounded by rolling hills that create an idyllic backdrop, this scene captures both serenity and purpose. The detailed engravings highlight every intricate line on St Christopher's face as well as the texture of flowing water beneath him. This monochrome masterpiece not only showcases Duerer's exceptional skill but also serves as a reminder of the power of religious devotion throughout history. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own journeys of faith while admiring the timeless beauty captured within this remarkable piece of art.
