EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Crucifix" by Cimabue, a renowned Italian artist from the 13th century. The tempera on wood painting is housed in the magnificent Santa Croce Basilica in Florence, Italy. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly Christ on the cross, depicted as a dying figure with closed eyes and his head gently resting on his shoulder. His body arches to the left, portraying the iconic image of Christus patiens - a suffering Christ. Flanking him are two significant figures: the Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist. The attention to detail in this panel painting is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to this medieval masterpiece. The use of tempera technique enhances its vibrancy and depth, showcasing Cimabue's exceptional skill. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in Christian history - Jesus' crucifixion. It serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and redemption. Ghigo Roli's expert photography captures every nuance of Cimabue's original work, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot stand before it ourselves. This print truly encapsulates centuries-old artistry that continues to inspire awe today.
