EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Clodion's masterpiece, "Crucifixion, with the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist" created in 1785. The terracotta sculpture, housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, exudes a profound sense of mourning and grief. Standing at a height of 68 cm and measuring 42 cm in length and 24 cm in width, this delicate artwork captures the essence of sorrow and devotion. The intricate details on the ceramic surface highlight Clodion's exceptional skill as a sculptor. The scene depicted is none other than Christ's crucifixion, with Mary Magdalene kneeling beside him in prayerful contemplation. The Virgin Mary stands nearby alongside Saint John the Evangelist, their faces etched with anguish as they witness Jesus' sacrifice. Clodion masterfully conveys raw emotion through his artistry. Every curve and line tells a story of suffering and redemption. As viewers gaze upon this poignant piece, they cannot help but be moved by its power to evoke empathy for those who witnessed such an agonizing event. "Crucifixion" serves as a testament to Clodion's ability to capture human emotion within his sculptures. This timeless work continues to resonate with audiences today as it invites us into a moment of deep reflection on faith, loss, and compassion.
