EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Crucifixion group of Christ, the Good Thief, and the Bad Thief. Created by the renowned artist Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), this terracotta and wood sculpture is a true masterpiece of the High Renaissance period. The composition depicts Jesus Christ on a wooden cross, flanked by two thieves. The thieves are cast from models attributed to Michelangelo himself, while the figure of Christ is believed to be based on a model from his circle. Each figure stands at heights ranging from 28cm to 33cm, with their respective crosses measuring between 47cm and 60cm in height. The level of detail in this sculpture is truly remarkable. From the intricate folds of fabric draping over each figure's body to their expressive facial features, every element has been meticulously crafted by Michelangelo or his associates. This print captures not only the beauty but also the emotional intensity of this crucifixion scene. It serves as a powerful reminder of Jesus' sacrifice for humanity and invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as redemption and forgiveness. Now part of a private collection, this artwork continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries after its creation. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection ensures that it can be appreciated by art enthusiasts around the world for generations to come.
