EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the Calvary, an exquisite stone sculpture by Ligier Richier. Located in the Eglise de St. Etienne in Bar-Le-Duc, France, this artwork depicts a profound moment from Christian history. The focus is on the right side of Christ's crucifixion, where we see a thief or larron hanging beside him. The intensity and emotion conveyed through this image are palpable. The head and beard of Christ reveal his suffering and pain as he endures the ultimate sacrifice for humanity's salvation. The passion depicted here is both haunting and awe-inspiring. What makes this particular detail even more striking is the presence of ropes binding the male figure to the cross. These visible injuries serve as a reminder of the physical torment endured during crucifixion. Clement Guillaume expertly captures every intricate aspect of this masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate its significance even from afar. This photograph serves not only as a testament to Richier's artistic brilliance but also as a visual representation of Christianity's core beliefs - sacrifice, redemption, and unwavering faith. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that art has an incredible power to evoke deep emotions within us while simultaneously connecting us with centuries-old narratives that continue to shape our world today.
