EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment when Emperor Heraclius I, ruler of the Byzantine Empire, returns the revered True Cross to Jerusalem. Painted by Scarsellino (Ippolito Scarsella) in the 16th century, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 181x101 cm and is housed in the Nationalmuseum Stockholm. The scene depicted showcases a grand procession led by Emperor Heraclius himself. Accompanied by a host of angelic figures and priests holding candles, he carries the sacred relic through the cityscape of Jerusalem. The painting beautifully portrays elements from both medieval and Renaissance art styles, with its attention to detail and vibrant colors. The significance of this event lies in its religious context. The True Cross is believed to be the actual cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified, making it one of Christianity's most treasured relics. This act symbolizes not only Emperor Heraclius' devotion but also his efforts to restore Christian faith in Jerusalem during his reign. Scarsellino's masterpiece perfectly captures the solemnity and grandeur surrounding this historic moment. From the heavenly sky filled with clouds to every intricate detail within each figure portrayed, this painting evokes a sense of awe and reverence for both religious devotees and art enthusiasts alike. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable piece that allows us to delve into history while appreciating exceptional artistic talent.
