EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a profound and emotive artwork titled "Pietà Maria dead Christ arms weeping sitting". Created between 1628 and 1686 in Straatsburg, this engraving on paper measures 147 mm in height and 108 mm in width. The image depicts a heart-wrenching scene of Mary cradling her deceased son, Jesus Christ, in her arms. Sitting on a stone, she gazes down at him with tears streaming down her face. The artist skillfully captures the depth of sorrow and grief as Mary mourns for her beloved child. Intriguingly, there are no other figures present in this composition. This deliberate choice emphasizes the intimate connection between mother and son during this tragic moment. Whether or not Christ wears a crown of thorns is left to interpretation; however, his lifeless body rests peacefully on Mary's lap. The anonymous artist masterfully conveys raw emotion through intricate details and delicate lines. Each stroke adds to the overall sense of melancholy that permeates the piece. The contrast between light and shadow further enhances its dramatic impact. This powerful engraving serves as an enduring reminder of the universal themes of love, loss, and compassion found within religious art. It invites viewers to contemplate their own emotions while contemplating the immense sacrifice depicted before them.
