EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Crucifixion group of Christ, the Good Thief, and the Bad Thief. Created by the renowned artist Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564), this terracotta and wood sculpture is a testament to his exceptional talent. The thieves are cast from models attributed to Michelangelo himself, while the figure of Christ is cast from a model created by someone in his circle. The composition depicts Jesus Christ crucified between two thieves on wooden crosses. Each figure stands at different heights, with the thieves measuring 28cm and 33cm high respectively, while Christ reaches 30.5cm in height. The crosses that hold them range from 47cm to 60cm high. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every contour and expression conveys deep emotion and symbolism. It exemplifies both the mastery of Renaissance artistry and Michelangelo's ability to capture human suffering with profound sensitivity. This print captures not only the beauty of this iconic artwork but also its historical significance as an example of High Renaissance sculpture. It serves as a powerful reminder of Jesus' sacrifice for humanity's salvation while highlighting Michelangelo's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest artists.
