EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Descent Hell 1625-77 Etching state Sheet 3 9 / 16" transports viewers to a world of artistic mastery and religious symbolism. This remarkable piece, created by Artokoloro, is an etching that showcases the talent of Hans Holbein the Younger, a renowned German artist from Augsburg who later settled in London. In this particular scene captured on Plate 15, we witness Christ carrying an Episcopal cross as he enters a doorway leading to purgatory. The intricate details reveal papal arms adorning a niche where they meet with the devil himself, who curiously dons the pope's mitre. Surrounding them are various figures including Adam, Eve, Moses, and one of Holbein's followers. Measuring at approximately 6 cm in width and printed on sheet number three nine-sixteenths (2-3/8), this print beautifully conveys the depth and complexity of Holbein's work. Each line etched into the plate tells its own story and invites us to explore themes of salvation, temptation, and redemption. Artokoloro has masterfully reproduced this iconic artwork from their Liszt Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. As you gaze upon this stunning image filled with rich historical context and profound spiritual meaning, prepare to be captivated by its beauty while pondering humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil.
