EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Christ Healing the Leper" from Das Plenarium, a remarkable woodcut hand-colored artwork created by Hans Schaufelein the Elder in 1517. The image takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in the rich heritage of Northern Renaissance art. In this powerful depiction, we witness Jesus Christ performing a miraculous act of healing on a leper. With compassion emanating from his eyes and a gentle hand gesture, he reaches out to cure this afflicted man's disease. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring life and vibrancy to the scene, emphasizing both the physical ailment and spiritual significance of this moment. Hans Schaufelein masterfully captures not only the religious aspect but also conveys an emotional connection between Christ and those seeking his divine intervention. This woodcut serves as a testament to Christian faith and its belief in miracles. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this extraordinary work invites viewers into a world where illness is transformed into health through faith alone. It reminds us that even during challenging times like these, there is hope for healing and restoration. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported across time and space—connecting with centuries-old traditions while contemplating our own beliefs about spirituality and humanity's enduring quest for solace amidst affliction.
