EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "Crucifixion" takes us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and profound symbolism. The English School artist skillfully captures a pivotal moment in biblical history - the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The image portrays the haunting scene of Jesus hanging on the cross, surrounded by a group of women who mourn his death. Their grief is palpable as they stand beneath him, their faces etched with sorrow and disbelief. This poignant depiction reminds us of the immense sacrifice made by Jesus for humanity's salvation. In this artwork, we witness not only the physical suffering endured by Christ but also his unwavering faith and love for mankind. The presence of two criminals or robbers being crucified alongside Jesus further emphasizes his role as a savior willing to die for even the most undeserving souls. As we gaze upon this print, it serves as a powerful reminder of life's fragility and our own mortality. It prompts contemplation about our actions and choices in light of such selfless sacrifice. Originally created as an illustration for "The Life of Our Lord" published around 1880, this chromolitho print has stood the test of time to become an iconic representation within religious art. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its enduring significance and artistic merit. Bridgeman Images' reproduction ensures that this masterpiece continues to inspire generations with its evocative portrayal of one man's ultimate act of love and redemption.
