EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, created by Erhard Reuwich in the 1480s, depicts the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as recorded in the travelogue "Sanctae Peregrinationes" by Bernhard von Breydenbach. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the Church of the Anastasis, is a significant site in Christian tradition, believed to be the location of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The intricately detailed print showcases the impressive facade of the church, with its towering arches, ornate columns, and intricate carvings. Figures of pilgrims and monks can be seen making their way towards the church, adding a sense of scale and activity to the image. The black and white contrast enhances the dramatic effect of the woodcut, highlighting the intricacies of the architecture and the textures of the stone and fabric. The print is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Renaissance period in Europe, and serves as an important record of the pilgrimage sites in the Holy Land. It is a rare surviving example of an incunable, or early printed book, and is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in the United States, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
