EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Pieta" by Carlo Crivelli, a prominent Italian artist of the Renaissance period. Created in 1476, this tempera on wood masterpiece is adorned with a striking gold ground that adds an ethereal glow to the composition. The painting was originally part of an altarpiece commissioned for the high altar of the church of San Domenico in Ascoli Piceno, Italy. The image captures a poignant scene from biblical lore - the mourning and lamentation over Jesus Christ's crucifixion. The Virgin Mary tenderly cradles her son's lifeless body, surrounded by grieving angels and devout saints. The sorrowful atmosphere is intensified by symbols such as nails, crown of thorns, and halos adorning each figure. Crivelli's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; his meticulous technique brings forth intricate textures and lifelike expressions on each character's face. This polyptych painting serves as a testament to Christian faith and devotion during that era. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this iconic piece continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts worldwide. Its profound portrayal of religious themes combined with Crivelli's artistic mastery make it a true gem within Italian Renaissance art history.
