Section H - Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child, from The Triumph of Christ, 1836
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithographic copy of a woodcut takes us back to the Renaissance period, specifically the 16th century. Created by Italian artist Andrea Andreani, it beautifully captures an iconic moment in Christian history. In this print, we witness Saint Christopher, a towering figure with bare feet and a serene expression on his face. With immense strength and devotion, he carries the young Jesus Christ across treacherous waters. The delicate details of their figures are highlighted against the stark white background. Andreani's lithography technique adds depth and texture to this religious masterpiece. Every line and shadow is meticulously etched onto paper using lithotint printing methods popularized in the 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly displays this remarkable artwork as part of its collection. It serves as a testament to both Andreani's skillful craftsmanship and his deep spiritual connection to his subject matter. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported through time to witness an extraordinary act of faith. We can almost feel the weightlessness that Saint Christopher must have experienced while carrying such divine responsibility on his broad shoulders. Andrea Andreani's Section H invites us into a world where miracles unfold before our eyes—a timeless reminder of unwavering devotion and selfless love for humanity.
