EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Rogier van der Weyden's renowned Triptych of the Crucifixion, painted in 1440. The central panel depicts the heart-wrenching scene of the Crucifixion, measuring 101x70 cm and rendered in oil on panel. In this powerful image, we witness Jesus Christ, full-length and hanging on the cross in despair as he sacrifices himself for humanity's sins. The artist masterfully captures every emotion through his brushstrokes: the sadness etched on the faces of Virgin Mary, St. Mary Magdalene, and St. Joseph; their grief palpable as they kneel or stand beside Jesus' crucified body. This vertical composition transports us back to Jerusalem during that fateful day in the 15th century. The period costumes worn by these adult offspring further immerse us into this religious tableau. Against an outdoor backdrop featuring a cityscape of Vienna, we are reminded of both historical context and artistic interpretation. This profound artwork evokes contemplation about Christianity's core beliefs - sacrifice and redemption - while serving as a testament to Rogier van der Weyden's skillful craftsmanship within 15th-century style painting
