EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Crucifixion" a remarkable painting from the Italian Renaissance period. Created around 1466-1467, this masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of the National Gallery in Prague. The artwork beautifully depicts the profound belief and faith associated with Easter and Christianity. In this scene, we witness Jesus Christ on the cross, surrounded by angels and mourners. The artist's skillful use of tempera on panel brings out every intricate detail, evoking a sense of loyalty and devotion to Christ. Mary Magdalene, a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ, stands beside him in mourning. The image captures Golgotha Hill or Calvary—the place where Jesus was crucified according to biblical accounts. It symbolizes both suffering and salvation for Christians worldwide. Notably, this painting also portrays other significant moments from Christian theology: the Ascension of Christ into heaven and his glorious resurrection. Three holy women known as myrrhbearers are present at these pivotal events—Mary Magdalene being one among them. Antonio Vivarini, an accomplished Venetian School painter active during that time period (ca 1440-1480), created this extraordinary piece that has become an icon within Russian Orthodox Church art. As we admire this fine art image captured through photography, let us reflect upon its rich symbolism and appreciate its historical significance within religious art history.
