EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment from the altarpiece of St Antony, dating back to the 16th century. The scene depicted is none other than Christ's Passion, specifically the Deposition and Entombment. Located in the Church of St Nicholas in Tallinn, Estonia, this artwork showcases remarkable attention to detail. In this particular detail, we witness the heart-wrenching sight of Jesus' lifeless body being taken down from the cross by his grieving mother, Virgin Mary. Clad in vibrant robes that add depth and color to the composition, Mary kneels beside her son with an expression of profound sadness on her face. Her hands delicately hold Jesus' wounded body as she mourns his untimely death. The image conveys a sense of tragedy and sacrifice inherent in Christianity's New Testament narrative. It evokes deep emotions as it portrays not only a biblical event but also universal themes such as love, loss, and spirituality. The artist skillfully captures every nuance: from Mary's sorrowful gaze to Jesus' lifeless form lying outside his tomb. This vertical composition emphasizes both their connection as mother and son and their role within religious iconography. Overall, this print invites viewers to reflect on faith while appreciating the artistic mastery behind this triptych altarpiece scene.
