EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases "Christ as Good Shepherd" from Das Plenarium, a masterpiece created in 1517 by the talented artist Hans Schaufelein the Elder. The image, hand-coloured with meticulous attention to detail, transports us back to the Northern Renaissance period. In this woodcut depiction, Jesus Christ is portrayed as a compassionate shepherd tending to his flock of sheep. His serene expression and gentle demeanor radiate love and protection for his followers. Clad in flowing robes, he carries a lamb on his shoulders while other sheep gather around him, symbolizing his guidance and care for humanity. The rich colors used in this artwork enhance its emotional impact. The warm hues evoke a sense of peace and tranquility that resonates with viewers across centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and spirituality. Hans Schaufelein's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every stroke of this woodcut print. Through intricate details such as facial expressions and delicate lines depicting nature's beauty surrounding the shepherd figure, he captures both religious devotion and an appreciation for the natural world. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this extraordinary work invites us to reflect on our own relationship with divinity while celebrating the artistic legacy of Germany during the 16th century. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and connect people through shared beliefs and emotions.
