EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pietro da Cortona's masterpiece, "Christ on the Cross with the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Saint John". Created in Italy around 1661, this artwork beautifully captures the emotional intensity of Christ's crucifixion. In this composition, we see Christ suspended on the cross at the center of the image. His body is depicted with exquisite detail and evokes a sense of profound suffering. Flanking him are three figures who play significant roles in his final moments: The Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Saint John. The Virgin Mary stands to Christ's left side, her face filled with sorrow as she witnesses her son's agony. On his right side stands Mary Magdalene, known for her devotion to Jesus. Her expression reflects both grief and adoration for her beloved savior. Lastly, Saint John gazes up at Christ from below with reverence and compassion. Pietro da Cortona masterfully employs pen and brown ink along with gray wash over black chalk to create depth and texture in this piece. The use of white gouache adds highlights that enhance certain features like flowing robes or tear-streaked faces. Measuring approximately 40.3 x 26.5 cm (15 7/8 x 10 7/16 in. ), this oval-shaped artwork is reinforced by red chalk lines that emphasize its focal point – Christ on the cross. Overall, this poignant depiction of Christ's crucifixion invites viewers
