EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 1502 print, titled "Christ on the Cross with the Virgin and Saints," is a masterpiece of Renaissance art created by the legendary Italian painter Raphael Sanzio, known as Raphael. The print depicts a poignant scene from the New Testament, with a suffering Christ on the cross, his body taut with the weight of his crucifixion. The Virgin Mary, depicted in profile, gazes intently at her son with a mixture of sorrow and faith. Two angels, one holding a chalice and the other a cloth, are shown catching Christ's blood, symbolizing the Eucharist. At the foot of the cross, St. John the Evangelist and St. Jerome, both deep in contemplation, represent the apostles and the early Christian scholars, respectively. The fine details of the print, from the intricate folds of the robes to the expressive faces of the figures, showcase Raphael's exceptional artistic skill. The biblical scene is rendered with a sense of serene beauty, inviting viewers to reflect on the profound themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the enduring power of faith. This print, a testament to the rich artistic and spiritual heritage of Catholicism, continues to captivate and inspire viewers more than five centuries after its creation.
