EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful scene from the 15th-century French Book of Hours used by a woman from Poitiers. In this illuminated illustration, we witness the solemn moment of Christ being nailed to the cross, depicting his crucifixion. The meticulous attention to detail and ornate decoration on vellum bring this religious event to life. The image portrays Christ bound with ropes as he endures unimaginable pain while nails are hammered into his hands and feet. His blood drips down onto his clothes, symbolizing the sacrifice he made for humanity's salvation. This poignant depiction captures the essence of Jesus' passion and suffering. Surrounded by a group of male figures throwing dice at the foot of the cross, this composition adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. It alludes to one of Christianity's most profound teachings - even in moments of great suffering, there can be indifference or mockery from those who witness it. The illumination beautifully highlights every intricate detail within this sacred scene, emphasizing its significance in Christian iconography. This particular artwork is part of Bibliotheque de l'Institut de France's collection in Paris, serving as a testament to both artistic mastery and religious devotion. Through this stunning photo print, viewers are transported back in time to experience an important moment within biblical history – reminding us all of Christ's ultimate sacrifice for mankind.
