EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white print depicts Christ in profile, facing right, as he extends his blessing hand towards the viewer. The image, which dates back to the 17th century, is believed to be an anonymous work, possibly Italian in origin, and is part of a larger composition titled "Christ, the Virgin, and Thirteen Apostles." Christ is shown wearing a long robe, with his hair parted down the middle and falling in loose waves over his shoulders. His serene expression and the gentle curve of his profile add to the sense of grace and reverence in this powerful depiction. The use of an oval frame further emphasizes the importance and significance of the figure, as well as the biblical narrative that it represents. This print, which is reminiscent of the works of Guido Reni and other Baroque artists, is a testament to the enduring influence of Christian art and the New Testament story of Christ's blessings and teachings.
