EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Calvary" transports viewers back to the 15th century, showcasing the remarkable talent of Master of the Death of Saint Nicholas of Münster. The image depicts a scene filled with profound emotion and religious symbolism. At its center stands Christ, crucified on a wooden cross, adorned with a crown of thorns that pierces his brow. His body bears the wounds inflicted during his crucifixion, vividly portrayed through bleeding gashes. Surrounding Christ are grieving figures - both male and female - including his mother Mary, depicted as Madonna. Their faces reflect immense sorrow and grief at witnessing this cruel act. In the background, horsemen clad in armor can be seen representing those responsible for carrying out this crime against humanity. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout the composition; gold leaf accents add an ethereal glow to certain elements while vibrant flags flutter in the wind above Calvary hill or Golgotha. Displayed at National Gallery of Art Washington, this Northern Renaissance masterpiece invites contemplation on themes such as suffering, sacrifice, and redemption central to Christianity. The print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared heritage and artistic legacy from centuries past.
