EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound sculpture titled "The Dead Christ Supported by the Virgin Mary and Saint John" created by the talented artist Hans Multscher between 1427 and 1467. Crafted in bronze, this masterpiece is a testament to Multscher's expertise as a sculptor hailing from the Bavaria region. Inscribed on its base are the powerful words "ECCE AGNUS DEI" meaning "Behold the Lamb of God". This poignant detail adds an extra layer of significance to this emotive artwork, inviting viewers to reflect upon themes of sacrifice and redemption. Multscher's deep understanding of Flemish realism, particularly influenced by Claus Sluter, is evident in his meticulous attention to detail. The expressions on each figure's face beautifully convey their grief and sorrow, evoking a sense of empathy within those who observe it. As one gazes at this photograph, they can appreciate how Multscher skillfully captures both human emotion and divine grace. The composition portrays Mary and Saint John tenderly supporting Jesus' lifeless body with utmost care and reverence. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art in Ulm, Germany, this sculpture stands as a testament to Multscher's prominence during his time. Its presence serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time, allowing us to connect with emotions felt centuries ago while contemplating our own mortality.
