EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite wood carving of "Christ Carrying the Cross with St. Veronica" by the Flemish School in the 15th century. Displayed at Rockefeller Chapel, University of Chicago, Illinois, USA, this remarkable piece captures a pivotal moment on the road to Calvary. In this medieval masterpiece, Christ's face reflects both anguish and determination as he bears his heavy burden. St. Veronica stands beside him, offering solace and compassion during his arduous journey. The intricate details of this relief sculpture are truly awe-inspiring; every fold in their garments and expression on their faces is meticulously carved. The gilded wooden frame adds an additional layer of grandeur to this already miraculous scene. The polychrome finish enhances each figure's presence while evoking a sense of reverence for their sacrifice. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel humbled by Christ's humiliation and ultimate act of selflessness. The soldiers surrounding him serve as a stark reminder of the cruelty he endured for humanity's salvation. Stunningly gothic in style, this artwork serves as a powerful testament to faith and devotion from centuries past. It reminds us that even amidst suffering and hardship, miracles can occur – symbolized by St. Veronica's veil bearing Christ's imprint. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness this profound moment captured forever in woodcarving perfection.
