EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hendrick ter Brugghen's masterpiece, "The Crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John" created around 1624-25. The painting, a remarkable representation of 17th-century Dutch art, depicts the profound moment of Christ's crucifixion. In this poignant scene, Jesus hangs on the cross in agony while his mother, the Virgin Mary, and Saint John stand by his side. The artist skillfully captures their grief-stricken expressions and conveys a sense of immense suffering through his meticulous brushwork. Ter Brugghen's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the composition. From the vibrant colors that adorn each figure's clothing to the delicate folds of fabric draping over their bodies, he brings depth and realism to this religious tableau. The nudity of Christ serves as a powerful symbol of vulnerability and sacrifice. Clad only in a loincloth, he represents both humanity's frailty and divine redemption. This juxtaposition emphasizes Ter Brugghen's exploration of faith within his artwork. "The Crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John" not only exemplifies Ter Brugghen's artistic prowess but also reflects themes central to Christianity – love, compassion, and devotion. It stands as an enduring testament to religious heritage that continues to resonate with viewers today. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this oil painting invites contemplation on life’s deepest questions while honoring centuries-old traditions. Its presence reminds us
